Why is this sad? Do you know Gangloff or see him train? What is sad is statements like this. It's not like Mark came out of nowhere. What I consider sad is Hansen's meltdown last Summer, not Gangloff's incredibly hard work the past year.
Hansen could have trained hard, shown up in a Jaked but failed to do so.
It is sad to me...in the same way as when Federer eclipses Sampras. My comment is not meant as a putdown of Mark but rather as another example of technology moving in leaps and bounds ahead of the training and technique development that preceded these suits.
And my point is reinforced even more because of your comment about him not coming "out of nowhere"...As good as Mark is if he did it wearing a jammer as Hansen did IMHO he would be suspected of using PED's...its that big of a difference (note my examples with Nick & Jason).
Glad to see your vacation restored your crankiness...it's been missed.
