"One was scratching himself, the other was rubbing his nose, another was whispering something into the ear of his co-athlete, a fourth pushed his hands into his pockets … Not one of our Olympic competitors was singing the national anthem; no one held a right hand over his heart," he writes.
"Jedan se češao, drugi je trljao nos, treći je šaptao nešto na uho sportašu do sebe, a četvrti je gurnuo ruke u džepove … Nitko od naših olimpijskih natjecatelja nije pjevao državnu himnu, nitko od njih nije držao desnu ruku ne srcu", piše on.
