Zenyatta, the Great

So who is the best athlete in the world? LeBron James, whose recent defection to the Miami Heat, put the entire sporting world on hold, Raphael Nadal who wins major tennis tournaments as routinely as we brush our teeth, the goalie on the Spanish soccer team that recently won the World Cup?

Well, NPR recently made a very convincing case for Zenyatta. The interview and transcript are here. And you will love the fact that the person making the case is none other than Lauren Hilllenbrand, author of Secretariat.

Read and enjoy.
