Norton Admits He Is Goat Of Olympic Team
Ray Norton, San Jose State College athlete from Oakland, California, admits he is the goat of the Olympic team after a series of failures. He blundered in the 400-meter relay receiving baton, costing the United States a victory to Germany. Norton also finished last in the 100 and 200 meter finals, aiding Germany's sprint dominance for 32 years. He fears he may never run again and contemplates ending his career on a sour note.
