GREATNESS

The 2008 Olympic Trials produced an all-time GREAT RACE.  Watch all three Oregon men here in the Finals.  Symmonds finds himself in a position of adversity, boxed in with less than 200m to go.  Andrew Wheating came in expected to have no shot at the team.  And Christian Smith (long hair and beard) ... watch his race. He's got THE FACE.  HUNGER. PERIOD.

Some great finishing kicks come from speed.
Some great finishing kicks come from strength.
ALL great finishing kicks come from HEART
