Abstract | These Olympics have been defined more by failure than success. For every Dream Team, there are dozens of stories of Olympic nightmares, of athletes who buckle under the stress of performing on a world stage. Mark Lenzi, the gold medalist in the 3-meter springboard diving, listens to U2. Swimming triple-medalist Anita Nall, of Towson, prefers Erasure. And yesterday, while diving for a silver in the 10-meter platform, Scott Donie was tuned to the Grateful Dead. "Like a lot of Olympic athletes, you try to distance yourself from the Olympics," Mr. Donie said. "You have to get in your own little world. I'm totally out of the competition. It's like a meditative state. There is a lot of pressure. A lifetime of working comes down to one moment." |
