Quote of the Day | 0110
All top athletes are freaks of one kind or another – we just happen to prefer the kind who make their freakishness look natural. We want our sports stars to be godlike, but we also like to pretend they are not so different from the rest of us. However, they are different, and as time goes by they are likely to become ever more so. The real risk of technological advance is not that the elite performers become too remote from everyone else, but that they end up too much like each other, as all of them pursue the same artificial advantages.
