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!
