Nice to see 3 Americans in Metz.
Now, how do I get there when I’m in Wisconsin? How will the border authorities in Europe think my alibi that I must see indoor athletics
be taken?
Also, Mike Rodgers is not only an exciting athlete to watch race but also a avorite interview subject. Check out this one, done in Madrid Indoor
