"You know they're playmg It <strong>for</strong> the country, but you can't help but feel they're playmg It <strong>for</strong> you. It chokes you up real good."

"There was no TV at the tIme, but there were reporters all over the place when I set the record," Scholes recalled. "They wanted to talk to me, but I was superstItious I told them, 'Don't interview me now, but if I win, I'll give you 30 minutes <strong>for</strong> whatever you want.' They agreed, I won the finals and I gave them 30 mmutes. It was a pleasure then II Scholes IS stlll amused by the request of one photographer. "He asked me to bIte the medal," Scholes said WIth a laugh. "I guess to show that It was really gold." Scholes got a big surpnse m the finals. "I thought my toughest competition gomg in would be my teammate, Dick Cleveland, but he didn't make the finals," Scholes said.

Scholes wasn't even sure he had won when the U.S. coaches and swimmers came over to congratulate him. "I figured they were prejudiced and hoped 1 had won, but when the Japanese coaches congratulated me, 1 finally thought I did it," he said. Scholes' winning time (57.4) wasn't quite as fast as the sem. ifinals, but it was good enough to make hlm part of Olympic history Scholes probably would have The Pizza is Larger ...The Price Is LESS!
