Flashes of Panic

We got another world record last night, which kept me up late hammering out the report. I’m putting the finishing touches on a write-up of the record-setter, and I feel like there are half a dozen more two- or three-paragraph reaction pieces to be written.

A good one that doesn’t really fit anywhere: Craig Mottram, after his race, reporting a typically Australian exchange with his agent shortly before the race. Dibaba’s record had just happened, and Mottram was beginning to warm up.

“Good conditions out there, eh?” he said to his agent.
“No wind,” shot back the agent.
