This paragraph grabbed my attention in this article.
Can Rice Lead to Gold? Marathon Will Offer Test (NY Times)
To view the Olympic course, Mimura went to China in April for the Beijing Marathon. He found the course to be flat but composed of various surfaces, including stone (that could cause slipping); newly paved asphalt (which will increase the heat); and concrete that appeared harder than Japanese concrete (perhaps because Beijing’s main roads are meant to accommodate tanks and other military vehicles).
Like what???? did you really just say that?! that was so long ago, such an outdated reference.
