Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4358223, member: 10435"] Live in Northern New Jersey and knew about Sydney when she was in high school at Union Catholic. I thought it was very significant that the closing event was the Women's 4x400. One of those important but seemingly expected moments the significance of which was perhaps missed by many. So how would you like to be on the line waiting for the baton as the anchor on another team and you know the Americans have the lead and you look again and she's still there? You have to beat Sydney! I think she may be the world's greatest female track and field star if not simply the greatest. What she did in her own event was described as "Beamanesque" and that was a good description except that she will probably break her own record pretty soon. [/QUOTE]
