But after all is said and done, the Olympics leave are minds quicker than it took Michael Phelps to break a world record. Obviously, story lines like Phelps' will not be forgotten, but the winners in track and field, equestrian, softball, etc. will be forgotten by September. It would be something nice to add to their resume though.Joe G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12623768562008590556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744208054927058227.post-61884083587445288262008-08-18T01:32:00.000-07:002008-08-18T01:32:00.000-07:00While I do agree that the Olympics is incredibly anti-climactic- its also the only real internationally showcased opportunity that some sports have. Lets take for example, Softball, which either way is off the menu for 2012 (errrg)- theres a floundering pro league that gets zero attention, and the NCAA tourney which is always exciting- but this is the only showcased chance the US gets to go up against other really strong teams like Austrailia, China, Canada, etc. <BR/>I mean how many other international track and field events are there??Lydiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05038298575061149717noreply@blogger.com
