The 2000 Olympic Champion Laura Wilkinson impressed me in getting back to the Final. But, in her 3rd Olympics, competing against athletes half her age, another podium finish was not to be.
Everyone else in the world tries to find a way to compete against the astonishing Chinese. Another veteran, in her 3rd Olympics, Emilie Heymans did it with extreme consistency. After “choking” in Athens in 2004, Heymans credits sports psychology with her success this time.
Congratulations.
