New World record for the mile. That's 26.07km/hr.
My treadmill taps out at 14.
I used to be able to sustain 12.5 km/hr for about 15 minutes in my prime.
These days I jog at 10 km/hr.... on a really good day.
It's crazy what the human body can do.
If Argentina win tonight, the two people in this photo will face off in the World Cup Final 19 years later.
What are the odds that:
> Baby wins a raffle to get a pic with Messi
> Baby grows up to be a generational talent
> Baby becomes third youngest player to ever start a World Cup final
> Messi remains so great that he would be the oldest outfield player to ever start a final
> Both of their teams beat the odds of reaching a final in the same tournament
The odds of this happening are impossibly small.
And yet we're one game away.
The same year that photo was taken, Messi featured in an Adidas campaign about being too small to make it. The slogan:
"Impossible is Nothing."
@WhickTv@JeremiahDJohns You're welcome! The real test of the Jihad would be resisting the urge to ask a thinking machine why asking a thinking machine feels so necessary. Circle unbroken.
It’s incredible that over 50 players at this World Cup are from the Paris area.
If only someone had made a BBC documentary about it…. They have!
It was a great experience talking to players, coaches & historians about the magic on Paris’s streets.

I’ve really enjoyed the differences between the European and US commentators.
US: “oh and he’s just missed it!”
EUROPEAN: “Horrible effort, that. Terrible to be honest. How can he go home to his children after that I don’t know.”
