I love how Nick calls his lean at the line for a medal perfectly. The man knew what he was doing out there, executed perfectly, and was able to walk away with the goods. Congrats.

Just wondering if Nick likes that HBO series "Flight of the Conchords?" It's hillarious!

Silver behind Lagat! The US _is_ behind you Nick! So refreshing to hear intelligent and eloquent insights from a runner (instead of the normal "I just wanted to come in there and ... uhh.. uh.. you know...run.") ...if only you ran for 'Old Glory.'

Nick Willis in Beijing

Nick talks about his chances at this year's Olympics. He made it into the 1500 final at last year's World Championship in Osaka, but only finished 10th after a stressful meet. Nick talks about the difference between a World Champs and an Olympics. He won't just be going for the final in Beijing, he feels he can win.....so watch out for WILLIS!
