That’s the nature of the Olympics. The competition is such that on a given day any of a number of people can take the Gold. Even if I had that level of athletic talent, I would probably choke.. The pressure seems enormous.
Yep, I remember the 1984 olympics when an unknown U.S. downhiller named Bill Johnson won the gold medal.
That was the peak of his career and it was all downhill from there, probably one of the most tragic stories I have ever followed.........
When less than a half second separates 1st from 8th place in a roughly two minute run, yeah, I would agree.
