Fun while it lasted: Kenny Harrison, new world champion in the triple jump, on walking the streets of Tokyo, site of the recent World Championships: "I can't go unnoticed. One person will spot me, and pretty soon, I'll have a crowd around me asking for my autograph. I try to go incognito, with a hat and sunglasses."
Harrison, back in his hometown of Emeryville, Calif., near Oakland, has been able to ditch the hat and glasses without any problem.
Mayor Greg Harper, when told of Harrison's accomplishment, said: "You're kidding! The world champion triple jumper here?"
