My alarm was set to play the 69 Boys’ masterpiece “Tootsee Roll” at 7 a.m. My breakfast consisted of three bowls of Wheaties and a warm-up lap around the house. My Walkman already held my own Lifetime Original Movie soundtrack: Jock Jams Volume 1. And my yellow Smile Jesus Loves You lunch box contained a Powerbar, an All Sport and a note from Mom that read, “Either come home with a victory, or don’t bother coming home.”
It was Olympic Day, and utter domination was in the air.
