"Top" Athletes according to one journalist --> Click Here for Link to Article
When are athletes like Craig Alexander, Chris Lieto, and Chrissie Wellington going to get there due? I mean all they do is go out and swim 2.4mi, bike 112, and then run a marathon...back to back to back..and these above mentioned athletes do it all in under 8 freaking hours!! Johnson wouldn't be able to make the turns on the bike, he be constantly turning left and crashing into barriers, Tigers a beast but he wouldn't last 10 seconds without his trusty caddy by his side, Brady..gimme a break if he made it out of the water and somehow made it to the run I'd have to imagine his clydesdale'ish size would be his demise in the marathon...and Kobe....well I just don't think Kobe would be that great of a swimmer or biker...but maybe he could make some time up on the run if he had any energy left...which he wouldn't. Now all my jests are in good humor...but seriously when are some triathletes going to get some global cred that they deserve...ESPN needs to get on board and realize that this sport is booming and the athletes competing are some of the top human machines in the world...
Just my two cents when I saw this article tonight...
