...occasional night of karaoke--to get in the way of his training. The pressure to win is almost unimaginable: a recent Internet survey found that the Chinese public's No. 1 Olympics wish was for Liu, 24, to strike gold. Four years ago, Liu surprised me with his rebel streak. "The thing about rules is that they are made by people," he said, "and they can be broken by people too." But with so much riding on the Olympics, China's government will do all it can to ensure that it is records, not rules, that will be broken...
...brain trust three years ago, fellow auteur Brad Bird (The Incredibles) told him, "Man, you didn't make it easy for yourself."

After the squad’s undefeated streak in its Ivy matchups, the Crimson hoped to be in contention to win the league title. But Harvard failed to maintain its momentum and fell in its last two league games. Princeton gave the Crimson its first conference defeat, sweeping the squad, 9-0, and knocking Harvard...
...Harvard men’s hockey team’s season was a rollercoaster. A flying start to the year that included wins over ranked teams such as St. Lawrence and Rensselaer devolved into a 10-game winless streak through the months of December and January. The Crimson came out of that spell in Cinderella-like fashion, embarking on a winning streak through February and March that took the team all the way to the ECAC finals, where it fell to Princeton. “We definitely had our ups and downs,” junior forward Jimmy Fraser said...
