Okay Friday and all and thoughts here in St. Louis being on a football game

to be played Sunday. I thought I would take this off topic process one
step further with Dr. Eric Heiden just Eric Heiden in his youth.  Here is
someone
who captured 5 Gold Medals (or better phrased all the individual men speed
skating medals)
in the 1980 Olympics, than went on to win the 1985 US Professional Cycling
Championships, but
unfortunately when he competed in the 1986 Tour De France his story ended
with a horrible crash.

I think you have to give him a great deal of credit of sparking initial
interest in the event
by both the American public and sponsors.  I know he also is still active
with the cycling world and
benefits held by Armstrong and others for cancer survivors.  By the way Dr.
Eric Heiden followed up his
athletic success, which he never did understand all the publicity about,
with academic success and
becoming and Orthopedic Surgeon.

All are great stories that kids should be introduced to.  Heiden might be an
interesting subject for many
though with the Winter Olympics opening in a few weeks and still being the
person who has captured more individual
gold medals in one Olympics ever in US history, and did with a bashful
charm.  1980 happened to be the year of
the "Miracle on Ice" too I do believe.

Not only ride the Tour (TIOOYK).  If memory serves me correctly, it being =
Friday and all, Lemond got two of his Tours and his second Worlds after =
the hunting incident.  Lemond also did not have nearly the team support =
Lance gets.

They are both great cyclists and inspirations.

Greg Lemond was the first American to win the Tour de France and he won it =
3
times in the 1980's.  A remarkable feat putting him up there with the best
ever.  He was nearly killed by an accidental gunshot wound during a =

accident in Minnesota but came back to ride the tour again.
