I get what you're saying there, but I have little lament for a guy who quit. I'd have no problem talking about the greatness of a man who tore an ACL, had a stroke, maybe even got kicked out for drug problems....but the fact that gets me is he quit. What-ifs just don't seem to mean as much when that's the case.
Also, I'll take you up on someone breaking that record. It won't happen simply due to injuries. You have to run a long time, and run a long time well to break that record. Nobody's legs will hold up long enough.
