Yahoo News (AP): Wanjiru first Kenyan to win Olympic men's marathon

I must confess that I have watched almost none of the Olympics. It is not a political statement in any way; it is totally a matter of time management with Fall teaching now in full swing.

Mr. Samuel Wanjiru just won the first marathon for the Kenyans ever in Olympic history. It was incredibly moving to see Mr. Wanjiru drop to his knees at the finish, bow in prayer and then to make the Sign of the Cross. That is a moment indelibly etched in my memory.

Hearty congratulations to Kenya and to Mr. Wanjiru and his Christ-like witness!
