...healthy store of determination. A towering bear of a man, he greets you with a shock of anarchic white hair and a ruddy face with a stiffly mischievous grin. Unlike Rudenstine's office, which is a picture right out of a designer's catalogue, Carnesale's has a certain stoic feel to it, with no personal effects or complications in decor--bearing a striking resemblance to how he handles issues...

Performing separately, they seemed more fragile, both physically and emotionally. Moceanu wobbled on the balance beam and was never in contention. Dawes and Miller, two stoic 19-year-olds, each made a major flub on the floor exercise and walked off sobbing, aware that their medal chances had vanished. That allowed the elfin Ukrainian Lilia Podkopayeva, the reigning world champion, to edge past three tough Romanians to win the gold...
