t-and-f: Americian Media

Associated Press need to learn about track

In an article published by the Associated Press they say "Greene set a
season's best in the 100, finishing in 9.88 seconds and underlining his
status as Olympic favorite."

While it is true Maurice ran a wonderful time and it was a even more
impressive time when you consider he had a poor start.  The fact that the
time was wind aided and will not count towards the best times of the season
was never commented in the article.

I guess I shouldn't be upset about this sort of thing as it is so common in
the reporting of track news.

  Joe - American Media? I think not. The AP writer
covering Van Damme (Raf Casert) is not American but is
from Brussels. Blame him, if it's that important to
you.
