Olympic
Sydney: Forget the medals, it's time to party
Forget
all those years of dedication, those endless training sessions at
dawn. It's time to party. Athletes who led lives of monastic
austerity have discovered there is life
after sport - and they are putting as much energy into Olympic
partying as they did into Olympic training. |

ATHLETES

Athlete
Spotlight: Athletes: Anna Kozlova (USA)
Careful
choreography and effortless grace are the signature of synchronized
swimming, and veteran athlete Anna Kozlova blends the two with ease.
Kozlova, who spices
up her routines with a dash of animal imitation, has been active
in the sport since age six. Her career began with five years on
Russia's national team, but a training trip to the U.S. persuaded her
to switch citizenship. |

|
Athlete
Spotlight: Dmitry Sautin (Russia)
Dmitry
Sautin became the first
Russian man to win an Olympic gold medal in diving when he won
the platform at the 1996 Atlanta Games. He finished a disappointing
fifth in the springboard, but he atoned for that by winning both gold
medals at the 1998 World Championships, establishing himself as the
best all-around diver today. |
