Cheater: A Summer Games Short Read (Going For Gold) - Plot & Excerpts
Food poisoning had taken its toll on Wade big-time. We were barely hanging on to the bronze, and the only athlete left to perform from Team USA was Wade. I’d nailed everything today. My floor wasn’t perfect, but now that I was properly motivated, I was sure it would get there soon. I wanted Collette in the worst of ways. Wade stepped up to the rings. Nick hoisted him into position. It was all going well until he fell out of his iron cross. He lost not only his line, but also his grip, and fell to the floor like a cement block. The fall was devastating to the whole team. All the Russians needed was to have a clean rotation, and we were out. Our hopes for an all-around medal were gone once Ivan Yazov finished his last event. I was over Bryn, but it still pissed me off that of all people to sink Team USA, it would be the guy Bryn hooked up with. Many of the team members’ best chance for a medal had been in the team event.
