Below is a photo of Stanford runner Alicia Follmar, who took a hard fall in the Penn Relays women's collegiate distance medley race at Franklin Field yesterday. While on the ground after the fall, Follmar was spiked on the head, which probably didn't feel too great, either. Those spikes are sharp like needles and can cut through soda cans like those ginzu knives in the old TV commercials. Imagine what it must feel like to be trampled on the head by a shoe covered with ginzu knives... yeah, ouch!
Nevertheless, Follmar got up -- bloodied but unbowed -- and finished in third place, behind Tennessee and Michigan.
Alicia Follmar is much tougher than you.
