Good read on one of the best 800 meter runners ever at

and I suppose I could post on the bragging board that I can say his name right :-)

Great read Sasha -- I was a little worried about him last year when Nick Symmonds pulled one of "his" (Yuri's) tricks on him and shot past him (and everyone else) in the last 50m of the race!  Yuri has always been one of my favorite track athletes to watch.


oh, and I am sure I can't pronounce his last name correctly, so I stick his first name (and even then I probably don't pronounce it correctly) - I would love to hear you pronounce it one of these days, just to see how far off I am!
