Great sports often have great rivalries
There is the classic old one: Dave Scott and Mark Allen
Jamie Whitmore and Melanie McQuiad.
Here is Melanie talking about their rivalry...
"Over the years Jamie and I have developed respect for each other and for all the other athletes in our sport. Although it might seem that we focus on each other, really the journey is that of self improvement, and each of us toes the line to race our own race. A win is very gratifying; a loss is a stepping stone to improvement. I know that the competition gets stronger every year, and if I am to continue to have success, I need to continually improve my race. Jamie has been a better runner, so I have worked to make my run faster. I was a better swimmer, so now Jamie is swimming faster. Each year we work towards that ultimate race: the fastest swim, bike, and run.
