...such a personal attack on Gomes in keeping with this great University's spirit and tradition of academic vigor and fairness? The strong biblical and universal admonition, "Judge not, that ye be not judged," keeps coming to mind. Also the old song title, "Try a Little Tenderness...
Blair wins races in the first 100 m, and she was .24 sec. ahead of Ye's pace when the edges of her blades bit into the first turn. On the backstretch, an army of Blair's supporters were in full cry as she passed. "I didn't hear them," she said. When she broke the electronic finish line, Blair was .18 sec. front of Ye and had the gold. Asked about the jockeying for position and the refusal of race officials to allow her a rerun, Ye blinked and graciously said, "It is a pity...
...Ye's silver was the first winter medal for her country, and she had another chance for gold in the 1,000. As did Blair, who treated the intervening 1,500- m race as training, easing up for the last 400 m.

With no repeat of the jostling during the lane changeover, Ye surged toward the finish line and vindication. When she lifted her head to the scoreboard, the Chinese skater had certainly achieved that. But by the incomprehensibly slim margin of .02 sec., less than the blink of an eye, Blair had won a second gold medal, making her the first American woman to take...
...television viewer cannot see so clearly the effect of the internal wake- up calls, the biological clocks, the steady tick, tock, tick. Ye Qiaobo, just after becoming the first Chinese athlete ever to win a Winter medal, in the women's 500-m speed-skating event, got up on a podium a composed 27-year- old woman in a purple track suit who had been done out of her gold, she felt, by a competitor's error. Would she protest? "Maybe I will try" -- and the whole room held its breath -- "to set my sights for the next Olympic Games...
