The pneumatic New Zealander Rob Waddell, the fastest man in the world ever over 2,000m, recently posted a somewhat less than tardy time of 15:04 for 5,000 metres. Rob, who was recently voted Sportsman of the Year in New Zealand, is currently deep in training for the World Indoor Rowing Championships in Boston next February where he's hoping to retain his crown., as well as the Sydney Olympics, where he aims to add the Olympic gold to his world title.
