<p>[QUOTE="ericl, post: 1086854, member: 2697"]Ah, yes, the battle of Marathon! It reminds me of the story as to why the 1984 Olympics were in Los Angeles. Teheran, Iran (the Shah was still in power) was the front runner and they made a little request as the host country, as host countries were wont to do. They wanted to cancel the Marathon, as every student of ancient history knows who lost the battle. That was the deal breaker. LA got the games.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
