Quote:In one of the strangest cases of purported religious beliefs intersecting with athletic performance, a Kentucky junior cross country runner voluntarily walked away from a chance to qualify for the state meet to avoid running with the bib number "666", which she said conflicted with her Christian beliefs.

Oh well, her loss.

It's what people have made of the number(s).... on both sides of the issue.

Why do people avoid "13"... including planes, hotels, businesses etc?

When you are brought up to be superstitious....
