Tyson vs. Haile?

Every World Championships has a number of TV ads which run before and after each session on the big screen. In Osaka, my favorite was a Mizuno ad in which a recreational runner out for a jog passes athletes meant to represent a series of Japanese marathon stars (Seko, etc.) and one who looks startlingly like Frank Shorter.

Here, my favorite is an adidas ad featuring marathon World Record holder Haile Gebrselassie racing a 200m against Tyson Gay. If you know Haile, and you know Tyson, you can probably guess how it goes from there.

    Is there video on line of that challenge?

    I wonder if you’ve been watching Shaquille O’Neal’s new TV show, “Shaq Vs.” In it Mr. O’Neal is supposed to challenge well-know athletes in other sports—David Beckham, Albert Pujols, Ben Roethlisberger, Oscar De La Hoya, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh, and others. I note, with some intrigue that he’s not challenged Tyson, Haile, Kenenisa, or even you.
