Anthony Famiglietti wants a bronze medal in Beijing. He has stated that he can’t do any better than that because so many of the other athletes are cheaters.
Even so, he’ll most likely have to get a huge PR in the Beijing men’s steeplechase final. Of the 15 men in the final, Fam is ranked only 12th, both in season’s best and in PR. He may even have to set an American record to get on the medal stand. Since Dan Lincoln’s AR is 8:08.52 and Fam’s PR is only 8:17.34, that would be an improvement of 8.52 seconds for him. But even that may not be enough.
