Question of the Month

On July 24, the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team will be hosting the 2010 5k Sausage Run/Walk around their stadium, Miller Park. All proceeds go toward local community programs. A popular mid-game entertainment during Brewers games, the Sausage Race pits several “meaty” mascots against one another in a race around the ballpark. Which of the following meats is NOT represented in the race?

A.  Bratwurst

B.  Italian Sausage

C.  Chorizo

D.  Liverwurst

Last Month’s Question was: Setbacks are a part of sports, and a part of life. What matters is how you respond to a setback.  In 1972 at the Munich Summer Olympics, which runner recovered from a fall to not only win the gold medal, but to set the world record in the 10,000 meter?
 
Answer: Lasse Viren was a 23 year-old Finnish policeman and a virtual unknown when he debuted at the 1972 Summer Games. After falling at the mid-mark of the race, Viren calmly got up, collected himself and continued the race. Lasse caught up with the leaders including the heavily favored British runner David Bedford, and went on to win the race with a world record of 27:38.4.
