World marathon record holder, Haile Gebrselassie, is pulling out of the marathon at this summer's Beijing Olympics. Gebrselassie is fearful Beijing's notorious smog will affect his asthma. Upon hearing of this news, 101 year old Buster Martin commented, "Use your inhaler and quit being a friggin wimp!"

Buster Martin may not have agreed, but I do. I think Haile made the right choice and I think it's a testament to his champion's mindset that he could even make it.
I hope he medals in the 10k. I think that would be even more impressive than if he won the gold in the marathon.
