However, as the IAAF record keeping attests, tail winds can be too much of a good thing. Therefore, use discretion whenever outside help is needed.
Alright, two media examples:
1. There has been little doubt for a long while that Tyson Gay can run like the wind.
With the wind along for the ride, Gay ran Sunday like no other human being ever has.
And if that performance must go into the history books with more asterisks and other cryptic symbols than the DaVinci Code, it still doesn't diminish the most significant thing Gay did the last two days at the U.S. Olympic trials: get on the 2008 team by surviving four rounds and winning the 100-meter final in a wind-aided time of 9.68 seconds, faster than anyone ever has covered the distance.
And if you thought winning was a foregone conclusion for reigning world champion Gay, easily the fastest sprinter in the country the last two seasons, you didn’t see what happened in Saturday’s first round, when he eased up too soon and had to scramble back into high gear to assure advancing to the quarterfinals.
“I almost started crying when I crossed the finish line because I thought I didn't make it,” Gay said.
He would make his first Olympics after a U.S. record run of 9.77 seconds in the quarterfinals and an impressive dominance of the semifinal and final, when he left Walter Dix (9.80) and Darvis Patton (9.84) behind. They earned the other two 100-meter places for Beijing.
