Nike Plus Contest by Ami Kealoha
In the beginning there was Nike Plus, the Nano-integrated running shoe that tracks time and distance to help manage workouts. Next Crystal Method came out with a track called "Drive" paced for a standard distance run. Now, CH has a complete Nike Plus kit (Moires in the colorway of your choice, the Nike+iPod Sport kit, and a Nano) as well as a free download of "Drive" to giveaway to a reader who answers the following question correctly. What was the name of the athlete disqualified from the Olympics for using a horse and carriage? Submit answers here by next Friday, 4 August 2006, to qualify. (We'll pick at random from correct entries.)

Zoom Stefan Janoski SB: Designer James Arizumi Interview and Sketches
