Loved the quote in the article: "One of the first things that came to my mind was, 'Good thing we brought a second javelin,'" Miles' coach, Richard Vance, said Monday. I guess that was in case another photographer got too close.

Now thats the difference between a pro and a hobbyist - the pro made sure he had the shot for the editor!
