Gene Cherry EUGENE | Sat Jul 3, 2010 7:39pm EDT EUGENE Oregon (Reuters) - Olympic bronze medalist Walter Dix edged out Tyson Gay in the former world champion's hotly-anticipated return to the 200 meters at the Prefontaine Classic Diamond League meeting on Saturday. "It wasn't bad, but I was a little fatigued toward the end," Gay said. "I tried to stay relaxed and bring it home, but it wasn't enough." Dix, who won the 100 meters and placed second at the US nationals last weekend, said his race experience had helped, "but I'm a little beat up, too." "I was a little sloppy out of the blocks, but I was able to hold on," he added. Oliver, the Olympic bronze medalist, equaled Dominique Arnold's national record with his second consecutive lifetime best. "I didn't get a great start but I brought it home," Oliver said. Brazilian world indoor gold medalist Fabiana Murer also came out on top, winning the women's pole vault over Polish world champion Anna Rogowska.
At the risk of being a killjoy, why is it ok to make such blatant gay jokes in an actual news headline? Couldn't you find a nice racist headline to get your point across?
