from Tom Fitzgerald's nationally syndicated column: <<A field of seven runners made a farce of the 5,000-meter race at the Goodwill Games in Australia. The runners loped slowly around the track for most of the race, then picked up the pace a little with two laps remaining before going into an all-out sprint in the final 400 meters. Athletes colluding in a ridiculous contest with an exciting finish? In this country, that's called professional wrestling.>>
