Gay Runs Fast

I don’t care much about track and field unless it’s the Olympics (and not that much even then, now that the Cold War is over). Still, this headline is rather amusing: “Gay sets sights on 200 meter record.”

I would have thought half a meter would be stretching it.

Perhaps it is a typo and is supposed to be 200 millimeters, though then I would modestly contest his record.

Perhaps James can run a reverse captions challenge. He runs a headline and we have to supply the picture that goes with it.
