Survivor+courage+ determination+grace+ humility+champion = NOVLENE WILLIAMS-MILLS
We should have been taking note from then of the indomitable strength of this Jamaican treasure. As I sat back to watch Novlene in the 4x400m relay, post surgery and three years after the Olympics, I said a little prayer and was highly reflective, only to have my thoughts interrupted by a commentator declaring that on paper the USA women were almost impossible to beat. They had Sanya Richards-Ross whom they were touting as the 400m specialist, but she had not made the USA individual team, therefore, she was fresh and ready to give the USA women a blistering start. Allyson Felix, the third-leg runner, would be hard to beat, since she had just won the 400m final with the four Jamaican women in third, fourth, fifth and sixth places. Francena McCorory, they swore, would take it home on the anchor leg as she had won the USA national trials, and since she had defeated Allyson Felix in those trials, no Jamaican should be able to match her stride.

Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.
