Fernando,

We have a saying here in America: "you get what you pay for." If the contest is free, don't expect all that much. I can attest for the T&FN contest (the prize is, after all, free for them too - sort of). But your very high score in the Munich game was fantastic, so be proud of your superlative prognosticating skills. I hereby declare you the favorite of T&FN's contest. You are not, however, a lock :-)
I hope this translates well into Italian.

Worthy adversry,
Le rispondo in italiano per farmi capire meglio.
Se qualcuno promette qualcosa e volontariamente non mantiene, per me è un disonesto.
Anche noi in Italia abbiamo un detto interessante: Qua nessuno è fesso.

Re: August T&FN

Ah, the wonder of Internet translation programs:

"I answer in Italian in order makes to understand me better. If someone promises something and voluntarily it does not maintain, for me it is a dishonest one. Also we in Italy have an interesting saying: Here nobody is cleaved."

I take that last line to refer to cloven hooves ala pig?

La parte migliore di queste cose è che ciascuno può interpretarle come meglio crede.

You'll be able to enter the contest starting next Monday morning. Details on how it will work will show up before that so you can be thinking about it.

I cannot find Track and Field news anywhere. It is not on sale either at Borders or Barnes and Noble

Re: August T&FN

Track & Field News has a relatively new (geologically speaking) service called a 'subscription.' You send in money and they will send you a copy every month!

Sorry, couldn't resist. I bet if you call up their business office, 800-GET-TRAK, they can hook you up.
