Excerpt:

I recently had an opportunity to chat with Lanni Marchant, Canadian Marathoner who’s currently embroiled in the fight of her life to get to the London 2012 Summer Olympics.

Unfortunately for her, her personal best time which is the fastest by a Canadian woman in the last 6 years and even longer than that if you don’t count the Russian who acquired Canadian citizenship, is not good enough for Athletics Canada.

This means the London, Ontario native can’t compete in London, England and neither will any other Canadian woman. Below, Lanni answers questions about her track and field experience during her youth and what steps she is taking to convince Athletics Canada to allow her to compete.

She also tells us how we can help her achieve her goal.
