McCann, 40, is an Australian marathon champion, who was diagnosed with breast cancer three weeks ago. She will be treated with chemotherapy. McCann is not discussing retirement, but instead is looking ahead to the Beijing Olympics. "I don't feel old. I feel young and am really excited about what is ahead," she said.
