USA’s Flanagan Wins Bronze in 10,000 Meters
Posted by: Keefer in Local (Raleigh Durham), Sports Stuff
Here’s a local angle to the Olympics – Shalane Flanagan does a lot of her training on Durham’s stretch of the American Tobacco Trail. The ATT is where I first started my love of cycling on my old Mongoose full suspension mountain bike.
Anyway, congrats to Flanagan for getting the bronze in the 10,000 meters!
I don’t know what it is about the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, but we’ve watched so much more of it than pretty much any game in the past – watching it all in high definition has been part of it for sure, but we have been totally glued to all the events shown during primetime – cycling, swimming, diving, track and field, beach volleyball and a few others.

This would have been cool to see in person. The former UNC players team included Jawad Williams, Jackie Manuel, Melvin Scott, and Jerry Stackhouse. Wish we could have been there to check it out!
