    Ten years ago, Stevens’ milestone moment to qualify for the Athens Games became a sideshow when the great Ian Thorpe inexplicably tumbled into the water like a winged albatross and was disqualified from the 400m freestyle event at the trials.

    Stevens finished second to Grant Hackett – in a personal best time – but the pressure mounted for him to relinquish his place to Thorpe. The issue dominated the media for a month.

    “Is it really that long? Ten years? I hadn’t even thought of that.”

    Chloe Sutton’s father was in the Pentagon on the morning of the terrorist attacks.

    David Sutton was in a meeting at work when he heard six to eight booming noises.

    “It sounded like someone dropped a refrigerator in the room right next to us down some stairs,” he said.

    Nearby, his daughter, then 9 years old, walked into a classroom in her elementary school and saw a group of teachers, tears streaming down their faces, their eyes fixated on the television.

    “I definitely didn’t realize my dad was in danger,” said Chloe Sutton, now a two-time Olympic swimmer in Orlando for the Arena Grand Prix meet that concluded Saturday at the YMCA Aquatic Center. “My dad is Superman. My dad is Captain America.

    According to scientists who study facial expressions and emotions, this is the victory stance. We saw it on Canadian speed skater Charles Hamelin moments after he realized he took home the gold, and it was the same with Alexandre Bilodeau, as he ran to the stands to hug his brother and family.
