Honesty, the best interview policy
The 2008 IAAF Yearbook, which I’ve mentioned before, has a section in which almost all the Olympic champions respond to a survey. Some of them are cute, some are silly, a few are even a little boring, but the one which really caught my eye, perhaps because of his recent heroics, was Steve Hooker.
One of the questions was, “What was the last thing you thought before your Olympic final?”
Hooker’s answer: “The Belgian 4×100m team looks pretty cute.”
