Chevalier on Clay

Rafael Nadal, I salute you.

Yesterday, Nadal hammered Roger Federer, arguably one of the best tennis players in history, to win his fourth consecutive French Open. I love Nadal.

While I am lauding one champion, I should also celebrate another king with four crowns. (Is any prize as precious as that laurel wreath?) On April 21, Robert Cheruiyot won his fourth Boston Marathon in six years (and his third consecutive). I love Cheruiyot.

Dare I ask, fair readers, which accomplishment impresses you more?
