ATHENS STREET TALK

AFP, Athens
Australian Olympic team doctor Brian Sando has advised athletes competing in the first few days of the Athens
Olympics not to march in the opening ceremony.
Sando said it would be unwise for athletes to stand for long periods over what would be an eight-hour exercise.
"Athletes are very fit people who use a lot of dynamic muscles and larger muscle groups to propel themselves in their sport ... they're not used to this sort of workload, and that provides other aches and pains that takes two or three days to overcome in many instances."
Sando said it would be "totally inappropriate" for athletes involved in the first day of competition to consider marching.
Sando's directive echoes the one
given to legendary Aussie swimmer Dawn Fraser at the 1964 Tokyo Games. Fraser ignored the advice and sneaked into the ceremony anyway -- before winning gold in the 100m freestyle.
FREEMAN PREFERS GUEVARA
After stealing the show in Sydney four years ago, Cathy Freeman admits she is still getting used to being an Olympic tourist.
Australia's 400m gold medallist in 2000 hung up her running spikes last year but has made the journey from Down Under to Athens in order to see who will assume her mantle.
Yet not being around to defend her title will be an unsettling experience.
"The truth is I don't know how I will feel a few minutes before and after the 400m final," Freeman said. "I'm sure I will be sad for a moment, wishing to be at the track and competing. But it was my decision to hang up my spikes.
"All my life I wanted an Olympic gold medal. Once I had it, it was time for me to retire."
Freeman said though she was impressed by the Bahamas' Tonique
Williams she wants to see 2003 world champion Ana Guevara lift the Olympic title.
"Williams is spectacular but I think in my heart I want Ana Guevara to win." LACK OF KIMCHI,
STICKY RICE
South Korea's athletes have asked Athens organisers to make sure their athletes are well catered for -- by stocking up on sticky rice and spicy kimchi in the Olympic village.
"We noticed on the first day that there is only normal rice, so we have asked for the sticky kind which our athletes prefer," said South Korea Olympic team chef de mission Shin Bark-Jae.
Shin revealed that Athens organisers had provided kimchi -- the pickled cabbage that South Korea is famous for -- but that it had proved too popular.
"Kimchi was provided for at first but since then there has not been any more. I think athletes from other teams like it too," he said.
