During the 2012 London Olympics, Tiki Gelana was the long-distance runner to beat. She had trained as hard as she could to represent her country, and she had already won the Amsterdam Marathon in 2011 and the Rotterdam Marathon the following year.

Priscah Jeptoo of Kenya is close behind her, like a shadow that pushes rather than follows. After finishing second to Tiki Gelana, Priscah takes a breather in the middle of the path for a prayer. It was a grueling marathon, and both athletes owe their best efforts to each other.
GORDON HAYWARD
During the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship between Duke and Butler, Gordon Hayward was given the chance to win it all for his team. The Butler star was named Player of the Year in the midst of the 2009-2010 season, averaging 15.5 points and 8.2 rebounds.
