Our women are surprising us these days with continious success. Men athlets should follow our women's examplary achievements.
Meb Keflezgi, Ethiopian born-American (Now said to be Eritrean-born-American), won the Boston Marthon with astounding record of 2.08.37 writing history as the first athelet to get the U.S. a gold medal in Marathon. The Boston Marthon was busted by rediculous bombing in the last year's event making Keflezgi's victory historical and unforgetable.
