Terreno Deportivo David Epstein: Athletes are right to be worried about Beijing’s air
Brian Sell, the colorful Egg McMuffin-eating, Fu Manchu-sporting, self-described redneck marathoner from Michigan, is concerned. And understandably so, with pictures of smog-obscured buildings and smog-swallowed mountains coming out of Beijing. Sell will be hunkering down at the U.S. track and field team’s base in the resort town of Dalian in northern China, near the border of South Korea until just four days before the marathon. Dalian has a nice golf course to run on, and the air is usually clear.
