wow, as a current hockey player and former track star, well, you know.

anyhow, I'd like to point out that NHL player interviews are probably
the most intelligent of the major sports (here in the States, though
I've never heard an interview with a Skip*) --you want horrible
interviews? (American) Football. Trust me. NBA players are a close
second. At least hockey players can actually talk about the game.

And other than the relays, Track is an individual sport. It takes a
different psyche to compete, and one that tends to appear a little
self-centered is what you see....
