I DON'T think I've ever been more excited ? under obviously strange circumstances ? about the prospect for great athletic performance. These athletes are mostly the emerging talent of one of the most exciting generations that we've witnessed in the sport in many years. I've never been more optimistic about the future of our sport when it comes to performance because we're watching a large part of that group being aged 25 and under. It's a privileged job I've got to pick out 10 athletes who are going to be part of a great Games. The beautiful thing about this sport is that anybody reading this column could make up their own 10 and all would be completely different from mine? [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Historic newspapers are treasure chests laden with booby traps. Every page is full of leads that have the potential to better a project, or completely derail it. Author Amy Stewart has been on the winning side of that tenuous battle until she encountered a series of New York Times headlines like, "'Oh, for a Chance to Shoot at the Nasty Prowlers!' The Misses Kopp, Maintaining Siege in Home, Would Just Love to Turn Guns on Blackmailers." A 1914 car-and-buggy collision cost her a day's worth of research, but it was no loss. "The Drunken Botanist," the book she was writing at the time, went on to be a bestseller, and her indulgence provided an answer to an often disquieting question every published author is asked on a near daily basis: What's the next book about?

NEARLY a decade ago, and moments before taking to the floor of a global sports conference, I was introduced by a big beast in international sport not as a multi-world record holder, double-Olympic champion or even as a former chairman of a UK sports council, but as someone who came from a country who could not build a stadium.
