But dual team silvers and dual gold all arounds isn't too shaby. Team
golds would've been great, and I think it was the pressure of the
Olympics that did it. Perhaps more coahing on how to turn that
pressure into energy to work for you is needed. It's not 'no
pressure', it's 'time to roll', 'time to rock', or a miriad of other
such statemtents. But to think that way either takes a huge ego, or
an extreme lack thereof, and huberis can always catch you in the end.
