ESPN mini-documentary on James Li...

ESPN has a very good mini-documentary on former Washington State University distance coach James Li, who is now the head cross country coach and associate head coach at the University of Arizona in Tuscon.

Li has perhaps the most important job on the US Olympic track & field staff, as he's the head team manager.

He's been the man most responsible for setting up the team's pre-Olympic camp in Dalian, about 300 miles from Beijing.

Li will have one other major responsibility--coaching Bernard Lagat in the 1500 & 5000 meter runs, where Lagat is a heavy favorite to medal.
