We're just three days out from the start of the U.S. Olympic Trials for Track & Field at Hayward Field in Eugene. I think it's one of the best shows in sports.
I've covered a bunch of national championship college football games. I was a regular for about a decade at college basketball's Final Four.
I like this better. The Olympic Trials happen just every four years. A lifetime of training, sacrifice and dedication go into a single, make-or-break moment. Talk about drama.
Nothing in my experience beats it.
I linked yesterday to Kevin Sully's oral history of the 2008 men's 800 final.
