highthief, I think you forget that for 99% of Americans track and field only competes every 4 years. Major newspapers rarely carry any results from any European meets, and even then usually only the top 1 or 2 places.
Carl Lewis was that guy that you saw A LOT every 4 years who then fell off the face of the planet.
The best that Alan Webb can ever hope for is the same.
