- Talk about pressure!!
- I didn't realize the hype of pressure the US media put on their athletes
- till this summer (so that's why they call them "press").
- Summer Sanders a good example -- and should I regard that 200m-women's-
- track-sore-loser as a victim of such pressure?
- Also that notorious Barkley who was bashed all over, and later made
- to fight with Godzilla...
-
- Them US athletes -- they sure are tough!! :-)
