Gay Beaten By Dix: Nominative Determinism Race Blow

GAY has been beaten by Dix at an athletic meet in the Oregon. Nominative determinism can be tough. You can run… But:

Olympic bronze medalist Walter Dix edged out Tyson Gay in the former world champion’s hotly-anticipated return to the 200 meters at the Prefontaine Classic Diamond League meeting on Saturday.

“It wasn’t bad, but I was a little fatigued toward the end,” Gay said. “I tried to stay relaxed and bring it home, but it wasn’t enough.”

GOOGLE says that ABC News has a new blogger with a very interesting name: “Jack Meoff.” It’s nominative determinism, readers.
