The legend awakes!
Steve prefontaine seemes like a very motivated man that is veryyy talented and set many word records. Many people looked up to this man because she was small, BUT could run an insane running pace and win almost every race he steps foot on. As a person i think he seems loyal and warm hearted . He appears to be a likable person but when it comes to who he races with, than thats another story. It shows that when he was younger he had gotten bullied and steve always ran away from them. And he always out ran them. Whenever he runs a race now he thinks of them poking him and mean things so he runs even faster and then ends up winning!! Sometimes pre can be mean tho, because one of his teamates did good on the field and then pre ruined his moment. Anyways, He teaches a 9 year old not to let your dreams get ruined... and for people to never get in the way of them.
College athletes think that they are better than everyone in the movie an pre relizes that that isnt true EVEN in the olympics.Pre had a goal in high school to break the record for the mile and he could never really do it so they always put him in the 2 mile and 3 mile. Pre hated it then soon loved it becuase he was winning more races.
The conditions were poor in the olympic village.. and the food they gave you and the bed looked like a place for the homeless.
Russia and america faced 2 times in basketball finals and they reset the clock twice.

College athletes...
No. I've always been pro-union (even though they are not what they used to be), but this is the most preposterous thing I've ever heard. Especially because they are students first and foremost, and the students and university seem to be forgetting this. If this passes and they are able to receive income and benefits, then they no longer should be considered students, but employees of the university. And if that's the case, then those who have received scholarships for school has to pay it back and pay for their entire "schooling."
I dont think they should be called employes because in the end of the day they shouldnt be getting paid!! its just a sport. I think if they were employes at the college than they should be treated like a normal college student and then YES they should get there degrees!

2014 Boston Marathon recap
Everybody was very couscous the day of the Boston marathon, There were many runners and fans taking risks of being there because of the bombing that happened last year.
the females elite division, there was a lot of talented runners especially Americans all star shalene Flanagan. Every year she runs this race wanting to win. Right before the race started she was silent and didn't even look up and wave to the fans. When the gun went off she bolted!!! Her first mile was a blazing 5:11 and the lead runners had some trouble keeping up with her pace.. with in 13.1 miles she started to struggle with agonizing pains.. she started to die down with 4 runners passing her. BUT she finished 7th overall with 26.2 miles completed in 2 hours and 22 seconds.. That to me is amazing because she had a 5:36 for a whole 26 miles...WOWW
Anyways Rita jeptoo from Kenya had won the race with a very fast time of 2:18.She had told the media that whenever she runs a race like this she always sticks behind the front leaders then creeps in front half way threw the race to the front and gives it her all. Rita had also won the BM in 2002 so she is very talented.
At the end of the race Rita gave credit to shalene for " sparking the historic run with going out with a bang" in the beginning to halfway point in the marathon.
Overall, the top 10 female finishers all ran their fastest times in the boston marathon.shalene flanagen says the she will remain still competing until she wins this race for boston.

Comments about PK Subban
I think that the comments that the "Bruins fans" made on twitter were just so mean.. after him doing so well in the hockey game and then have people calling him hurtful names such as the N word doesn't make him feel to good. I think that twitter is just drama and when people post things on twitter during big games like this, than its going to be blown outta apportion no matter what. Because people are asking for attention. And I think that the people that posted mean comments should be labeled as racist... not Boston itself!
I think that sports arguments and mean things like this happen all the time, so sometimes its best to just ignore it.
What is a sport??
I think a sport is an activity involving physical capability and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. It also consists of being in good shape and being motivated.Physical events such as scoring goals or crossing a finish line, first often define the result of a sport. However the degree of skill in some sports such as diving, and figure skating is judged according to well-defined criteria. This is in contrast with other judged activities such as beauty pageants and body-building shows, where skill does not have to be shown and the criteria are not as well defined.
I don't think that card games, playing chest, and bowling are any sports what so ever!! people like to say that its a sport because it makes them feel like there active and cool and part of something.. they are just lazy to me. I also don't think that cheerleading is a sport because all they do is just stand there and try to look pretty and wear skanky clothes. I only like the competitive cheer teams.
Anyways, I think that football, soccer, tennis, basketball, RUNNING, and any other sport that involves moving around constantly IS a sport.
Sports also help usgain not only the good health but also the interesting, enthusiastic and thrilling feelings. Anyone who wants to play any sport needs to spend time for practicing. However, it’s said that there are many reasons in choosing team sports or individual sports. I choose running because it helps me stay in shape and relieve stress. I never thought I would like it at first but now I love it!!
