    Anybody else read this? I thought it was a good story, if a
    bit short.

      Nope. Why don't you tell us about it?. It would give this topic a 
    raison d'etre. 8^)

    OK. The story centers about the Olympic games in the not-too-distant
    future. The games have been expanded to include 'intellectual'
    events. The athletes can undergo a process to boost their performance,
    however, after several years, they die, *unless* they win gold
    medals, ion which case they can get medical maintenance. The story
    plot follows a woman who is entered in, among other things, Judo
    and 'fell-running' a sort of cross-country combined with free
    climbing.
