"Единият се почесваше, другият си търкаше носа, трети шепнеше нещо в ухото на свой съотборник, а четвърти стоеше с ръце в джобовете … Никой от олимпийските ни състезатели не пееше националния химн, никой не постави дясната си ръка върху сърцето, пише той.
"One was scratching himself, the other was rubbing his nose, another was whispering something into the ear of his co-athlete, a fourth pushed his hands into his pockets … Not one of our Olympic competitors was singing the national anthem; no one held a right hand over his heart," he writes.
