Speaking of the human machine...

did you just see that Liu Xiang / Terrence Trammell race on CBS?

Mens 110 hurdles.
Excellent times.
Great competitors.

Xiang's race was a thing of beauty, pushed obviously by his American competitor in the next lane. Personal best for Trammel too.

I love true competition. I love the idea of America as a continual winner "pushing" to bring out the best. The Chinese counterpart even showed emotion too... with health and good luck, the next summer Olympics will be something to truly savor.

Looking ahead...
