Mo Greene retiring? Not so fast for speediest track fan

Olympic sprint champ and former WR man Maurice Greene shocked the track world yesterday by announcing his retirement. But anyone who knows Mo won’t be surprised if he makes a comeback. And I have a suggestion. He turns 35 on July 23, 2009. Five days later — how con-VEEN-ient! — the 18th World Masters Athletic Championships begin in Lahti, Finland. Of course, he’d have to pay his own way. But on the upside: No Trials or qualifying standards. He’d also have the advantage of being the youngest entrant at worlds! The listed M35 world record for 100 meters is 10.03 by Britain’s Linford Christie in 1996. Hey, Mo! You’ve gone sub-10 some 52 times. How about shooting for No. 53 in Finland?
