Post Reply Return to Olympic

My favorite part was the discussion of the 3 American Marathon medalists: "The two previous American women to medal in the Olympic marathon are both on the Mount Rushmore of American distance running: Joan Benoit Samuelson and Deena Kastor. When both women earned their American records, it was far from a shock as they entered their Olympic medal races as the American record holder. Molly Seidel? Not so much. She entered as a huge underdog and was +6000 to win on one betting site. Now that she’s medalled, one must wonder if Seidel could one day join Samuelson and Kastor on the Mt. Rushmore of American marathoning."

Let's hope. Congrats to Molly.
