August 8, 2003 I have a new hero. May I never forget the name Achraf Tadili.

For those of you who did not catch the replay, Tadili was eighth in a field of eight by around 300m in the 800m final in the Pan-Am games. He passed the 7th place runner around the 3-400 m mark. In another 200m he was in third. And he just walked past the rest of the competition to take the Pan-Am gold by a metre or two! A new Canadian record, and gold for Achraf Tadili in the 800m--Canada's first gold in the even in 40 years!
