I have relationships with bothChrissie and Craig, and I know their work ethics. They were the reigningchampions, and they both repeated, so obviously I’m pleased with the outcome andextremely happy for them. But that doesn’t dilute the accomplishments of theother athletes.

She is someone to watch. Chris Lieto ran his best raceever and finished secondeveryone respects him.
