...holds about a dozen ice packs, for 60 minutes before a race or game. During the first 30 minutes, the athlete relaxes; the next 30 are spent stretching and warming up. Nike has shipped 300 vests, including 140 to the Australian Olympic Committee. British marathoner Paula Radcliffe and Lance Armstrong are among the Olympians training with Precool...
...reason to go all gooey-eyed over winsome teenage gymnasts, and for Turks it's a celebration of weight lifting. True, a few stars transcend their sports and a regional base.
