Couldn't believe reading this that Grete Waitz, superb women's distance runner, Olympic silver medalist in the 1984 Los Angeles Games marathon, has passed away from cancer at 57.
Grete Waitz dead - 9-time NYC Marathon winner dies at 57
Track and field doesn't get nearly the buzz that the pro sports do (well, OK, track and field at the Olympic level is pro, but not like the big team sports or tennis), but Grete was one of track-and-field's true greats over the past 50 years. Cancer does not pick and choose its victims.
