Mutola falling out of deck, but McFarlane jumps back in

Two 35-year-old track stars (and therefore masters fodder) are in the news over their retirements, or recantings thereof. Jamaica’s Danny McFarlane, who holds the M35 world record in the 400 hurdles even if WMA doesn’t know it, has unretired, according to this report. The Jamaica Observer reports: “McFarlane, who will celebrate his 36th birthday in June, told the Observer he was confident of becoming the first Jamaican man to win two Olympic medals in the 400-metre hurdles.” On the other hand, 800-meter champ Maria Mutola told the IAAF she plans to retire at the end of this season.
