Little Baby Flint

Coming in 1st with his snail-like time of 13:32.55 - "the slowest 5,000 final since the world championships began in 1983", Kenyan runner Benjamin Limo is going to name his newborn son 'Helsinki' in honor of his win in the Finnish capital. Good thing he didn't win the Dances with Dirt race..."Aw look! It's little Hell Limo!"

Great idea. If Gwenyth and Chris can have an Apple, and Jason Lee can have a, err, Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf-Lee (dude, WTF?), why can't a runner have a Helsinki? So I'll say it: if (no, no; WHEN) I win the CRIM 10 mile this year, my 1st born son or daughter (or dog or cat or ferret, whichever comes 1st), will be named Flint. I still have to think of something snappy for the middle name though...maybe Mizuno?
