Day 6...VIP

Don't get me wrong...the races and results from Day 6 at the track were nothing short of extraordinary.  The women's steeple saw the three young runners make their first Olympic team.  The men's and women's 1500 semis were nail biting homestretch drag races.  The husband of the winner of the women's shot put has become a good friend.  So that was obviously exciting.  The women's multi event  is underway along with heats of the men's 110 high hurdles and semis of the women's 200's. The women's 200 final should be about as even of a race as there will be.

Ok...as long time radio newsman Paul Harvey would say...and now for the rest of the story.  Upon attending a social function sponsored by our friends at Gill Athletic Equipment Co. there was another party in the adjacent room.  That's where the pictures below came from.  Some of the most influential, respected, and successful Olympians were present.  Who do you recognize?  (Hint...All were Olympic Gold medallists).  Extra credit for their event and year.  I wasn't necessarily invited to this party...but to use the men's room you had to go through this party.  So was it really my fault that I "crashed" the party and asked for a few pics.
