Inspiration from some runners

Given that I don't follow short distances so much, hurdles are a further step removed. But I decided to look up Dai Greene since Paula mentioned him as a medal hope for Britain. Read this story
And of course, if you are a marathoner you would know of Patrick Makau unless you have been sleeping since Sunday. Patrick Makau is paying back much like several Kenyan and Ethiopian champions before him. I am sure I would raise more than a few hackles when I question how our own Indian sportsmen (cricketers in particular) are paying it forward. I know of one in hockey, one in badminton, a couple in tennis, but for the amount of money in cricket, hardly any flowing back into society.
