Holy Moses, Man of Science
Posted by Nick
Remarkable interview with Edwin Moses, the great hurdler, who is planning a comeback:
Would you have been as good an athlete without science?
Not at all. I didn't get an athletics scholarship at a major school. I went to a small private school that was highly academic, and that was a major reason I became the athlete I did. I wasn't under pressure to perform. I did it because I loved the sport and wanted to be involved in it. I'm sure I wouldn't have been an Olympic champion if I had gone to any other school. It was all about the academic environment there.
