Make or break

MICHAEL Winn sits quietly on an incline bench in the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) Springfield gym as his weightlifting coach and brother-in-law, Craig Wegert, raves on about the youngster's raw talent and potential.

As Wegert speaks, the 16-year-old seems oblivious to everything he says, somewhat disinterested and almost asleep.

"He does that," Wegert said of Winn's semblance of boredom.

An Israeli couple is dreaming on 2012

In the summer of 2006, Marina Ohman (27) traveled with the Israeli national weightlifting team to a Ukrainian training camp to prepare for the world championships. Staying in her hotel was a senior member of the Ukrainian men's squad, Anatoliy Mushyk (29).

They each practiced separately, but they exchanged glances in the lunchroom, and began flirting with one another. They corresponded furiously after she returned to Israel until they met again at the world championships. The next time she visited Ukraine, Ohman was introduced to Mushyk's parents.

"We maintained our relationship via the Internet and phone calls," recalls Ohman. "We saw each other mainly at competitions and training camps."

They consummated their three-year romance by getting married last October and then had to decide where to settle down. Mushyk suggested his home country, where as a top athlete he is entitled to an apartment, car, plot of land and a respectable salary.
