I agree...always a great buzz when it's an olympic event etc. But then again....there are times when its advertised even then that an attempt will be made on the WR and it's even more exciting!

Nope, not a documentary, a proper Hollywood movie, ,with 8 actors running part of FLM 2006. Apparently the storyline is about how people from diff. walks of life end up doing the same thing etc etc yawn.
