Mark Maloney on Kentucky sports

An Olympic beat writer needs your help in compiling a list of Kentucky connections in Beijing.

Tyson Gay (athletics) and Elaine Breeden (swimming) will represent Lexington. Caroline Burckle (Louisville) and Tayshaun Prince (UK) will be competing. UK, U of L and the Lexington Legends all have athletes who will be competing for other countries. Morehead State even has an executive chef assigned to the Games.

If you know of anyone with a “Kentucky connection” (native, resident, student, etc.) who will be attending the Olympics in an official capacity (athlete, coach, official, etc.), please e-mail me with the information. I plan to compile a list of Kentucky connections, to be published on or about Aug. 8, when the Games begin.

My e-mail address: mmaloney@herald-leader.com

Thanks for your assistance!

Mark
