The greatest athletes in the world today are neither the Olympic champions nor the stars of professional sports, but the "Marathon Monks" of Japan's sacred Mount Hiei.


God I hate writing like this.
Newsflash: covering a lot of distance doesn't make you anything like a great athlete. Pretty much anyone can run a lot if they have good joints and it's their life's goal to run a lot. It's really unremarkable as an athletic achievement.
On the other hand, if you want to beat Haile Gebrselassie to the line, you'll need a hell of a lot more than willpower.

Sorry, this sort of writing about sports is one of my pet peeves.

Why don't we admit that there are irreconcilable points of view and let this thread die as it deserves it?
