I'm starting this thread for people to post links to news stories about the Olympics.
The New York Times has a great section of their web site that is devoted to Olympic coverage. The main page is here:

"After the Games" - Eight Olympic legends discuss their greatest athletic moments and life after competition.
www.nytimes.com/.../20080803_ICONS_FEATURE.html
There are audio clips from each of the eight athletes:
John Carlos
Nadia Comaneci
Mary Decker-Slaney
Bruce Jenner
Jackie Joyner-Kersee
Olga Korbut
Greg Louganis
Mark Spitz
I found the interview with Mary Decker to be especially interesting. In it she explains why she fell in the 1984 Olympics. She says that it wasn't Zola Budd's fault; it was actually her (Decker's) fault.
