"The marathon's about being in contention over the last 10K. That's when it's about what you have in your core.

To be able to draw deep and pull something out of yourself is one of the most tremendous things about the marathon."

-- Robert de Castella

“The British have been more up for it than the Americans were, particularly with respect to nudity in the show. In Europe there are adverts that show the breasts, so people are less frightened of that aspect of the show. Americans can withstand incredible violence on TV shows - which, as I come from England and Canada, I find difficult to stomach - but they are more puritanical when it comes to nudity on screen.”
