Erik, yeah, I know what you mean about the crew analogy-I row lightweight for the University of Delaware. After a race last year, after we completely embarassed Holy Cross (two lengths of open water at the 1500m, 10 at the end), while we were carrying the boat up, our 3-seat said "after I saw we were gonna crush 'em, I knew I didn't have to go 100%" Our coach overheard and put him in the 2V for the rest of the year, and he lost all of our respect.
The Olympics are and should be about the human body at its finest and utmost. It seems that Miller wasn't really concerned about whether or not he was living up to his potential at all. Also, in a Time interview, he said he wasn't going to the Olympics "to win". Well, I'm sorry, I don't think you should represent a country if you're not out to win. Anything less than at least TRYING to win is unacceptable. No one should go to the freakin' Olympics to "have a good time, see some cool dudes, party a little, live it up"-they should be completely focused on trying to do as well as they possibly can. Nothing else. Period.
