Reigning Olympic Marathon Champion Suffers Stress Fracture

Reigning Olympic Marathon Champion, Italian, Stefano Baldini, suffered a stress fracture during the London Marathon earlier this month (Eurosport.com story). Though the timing should allow for a full recovery before the summer games in Beijing, Baldini remains a bit pessimistic: "I don't want to make a drama but at this point it has complicated things. We are close to the Olympics and I think to get injured is not the best way to approach the Games."
