<p>Filtering out of the stadium after the men’s 10,000 meter final that night I bump into Jordan and her mother.</p>
<p>“Congratulations. You had all of us out of our seats. That was quite the performance.â€</p>
<p>“Oh, thanks.†Just beaming. Radiating positive vibes. I’m reminded of a thought Kerouac transcribed in On The Road. That night, all possibilities were out there, the world turned a giant oyster. “And the pearl was there. The pearl was there.â€</p>
