    Good luck to him. I don't think he will be able to make the USA team, but I'm sure a fair few other countries could use a man of his talents.

    It will be interesting to see just how fast he does go.

    I remember him falling at the Div III NCAA meeting and not being allowed to progress to the Div I meeting as a result. One had to win the Div III meeting to go to the big one back then.

    undefeated for nine years, nine months and nine days, for 122 consecutive races - with his track-eating, 9ft 9in stride he proved a natural at the event.

    i remember when ed moses was on the go,he never seemed to lose .i was looking up his record almost 10 yrs undefeated- incredible .and i was reminded about the great race in rome 87(world championships) where he just held on from schmidt and danny harris.he said on bbc today that he might be competing in veteran races.he's the real deal anyway and wouldn't set a bad example like some have done
