AsianWeek congratulatesthese Olympians as they go for thegold.

R A J U R A IBADMINTON BIRTHPLACE: ATLANTA, GA.AGE: 25ETHNICITY: INDIANEVENT: MEN’S SINGLES

How did you get started in badminton?My father is from India, where

badminton originated. It was a pas-sion of his, and I used to tag along. Ifell in love with it.

Has being an Indian American playeda role in your success?

In the Indian heritage, peopleare very loyal and respectful. ManyIndians had to work extremelyhard to be where they are today.That shows in my matches, likethe sportsmanship, pride and re-spect I have for my opponents.

Why do you think Badminton is not sopopular in America?

We don’t have enough sponsors,coaches or facilities where we canteach the sport. If we could getmore money, we could expand itspopularity to states other than Cal-ifornia.

A N N A B E L L E O R M ESYNCHRONIZED SWIMMINGBIRTHPLACE: NEW YORK, N.Y.AGE: 21ETHNICITY: HAPA CHINESEEVENT: TEAM

What is your favorite thing about synchronized swimming?

It mixes a lot of different sportsinto one, like dance, gymnasticsand swimming. I did ballet, tapand gymnastics as a child, so it’s theperfect sport for me.

You were injured with back problemsfor a couple of months last year. Whatwas the hardest part of that?

The worst thing was not feelingpart of the team — sitting on thesidelines, watching the team andknowing that I could not practice.But my teammates were very sup-portive. I am still performing with acracked rib.

What is the weirdest thing that hashappened to you in competition?

In an exhibition in San Diego,Calif., my suit, which has a strap onthe side, fell, so I had to do the entireroutine with my hand over mychest holding the suit up.

S A N D R A F O N GSHOOTINGBIRTHPLACE: NEW YORK, N.Y.AGE: 18ETHNICITY: HAPA CHINESEEVENT: 50M RIFLE THREE POSITION

Your sister Abigail competed in the tri-als but didn’t qualify. What was it like com-peting with her to make it to the Olympics?

We really can’t think of each oth-er as family on the range. As muchas I love Abby, on the range, we’rejust competitors. She was happy forme, but was obviously very disap-pointed she didn’t make the team.

Your sister Danielle is going to Bei-jing for the Paralympics in September.What’s it like to both be going?

I’m so proud of her because she’sworked so hard to get where she is.When she was born, they told hershe wouldn’t be able to walk, andshe does; that she wouldn’t be ableto talk, and she does; that shewouldn’t be able to go to a normalschool, and she does.

Can you speak Chinese?Only a little bit of Cantonese. It’s

enough to talk a little bit with mygrandparents and order lots of dimsum.

C L A R I S S A C H U N WRESTLINGBIRTHPLACE: HONOLULU, HAWAI‘IAGE: 26ETHNICITY: JAPANESE AND CHINESEEVENT: WOMEN’S FREESTYLEWRESTLING — 48KG / 105 LBS

Did you wrestle with boys in highschool?

Yes — I was one of two girls onthe team. I like wrestling with guysand am still wrestling with them totrain for Olympics. It’s a differentfeeling than wrestling girls; boysseem to work and fight harder. Ifanything, it might make boys moreuncomfortable wrestling with girlsbecause the boys are like, ‘I don’twant to touch her boob!’

You trained at the U.S. OlympicTraining Center in Colorado Springsfrom 2002 until last year. How was that?

At first, it was new and exciting,but then I got stagnant there. It washard to be training in the sameroom with the same people I wouldbe competing against.

What do you plan to do after theOlympics?

I haven’t decided wrestling-wise,but I’ve made plans to teach Eng-lish in Japan in September for acouple of years.

B E C K Y K I M SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMINGBIRTHPLACE: REDWOOD CITY, CALIF.AGE: 23ETHNICITY: KOREANEVENT: TEAM

What do the Olympics mean to you?It’s a dream. I’ve learned so

much and grown so much as a per-son being in the sport. Being raisedin a Korean family and havingteammates in the American cul-ture, I experienced two families. Ittaught me to be very open and ac-cept everyone for who they are —every shape, size, culture, back-ground.

What’s next for you after the Games?I’m planning to enroll again in

Ohio State University and finishone more year of school. I want toget into nutrition and health tohelp people be healthy and happy ina natural way.

Have you had the opportunity to touchsomeone’s life as a role model?

I find that a lot of Asian Ameri-can girls come up to me and tell me“I love you, you’re my hero.”

K H A N “ B O B ” M A L A Y T H O N GBADMINTONBIRTHPLACE: VIENTIANE, LAOSAGE: 27ETHNICITY: LAOTIANEVENT: MEN’S DOUBLES

What was it like growing up in Laos?It was rough. We didn’t have

much; I didn’t even have shoes. Ionly had one piece of underwear. Iused to eat sticky rice and salt for ameal. We had one piece of meat andthat was it. I was malnourished, re-ally skinny but had a big belly. ButI was happy. As a little kid you don’tthink that there is a better place.

What was the biggest culture shockwhen you moved to the United States?

I threw up when I had pizza forthe first time because it had cheesein it. But now I love cheese!

What is it like to play for America andfor Laos at the same time?

I have pride in both countries,and I will represent both, but mostof all America for giving me the op-portunity to be in the Olympics. AtLaos, I would never be playing bad-minton at the professional level be-cause kids in Laos don’t have thiskind of opportunity.

S A Y A K A M A T S U M O T OJUDOBIRTHPLACE: OMIYA, JAPANAGE: 25ETHNICITY: JAPANESEEVENT: 48 KG JUDO

You teach at the East Bay Judo Insti-tute. Are there any rules you make sureto teach your students?

We try to teach the philosophy ofjudo. It’s not just a sport where youtry to beat people up and win. It in-stills self-confidence and teachesyou to be humble and have man-ners, integrity and respect for oth-ers.

Have you faced any stigma being a fe-male in this sport?

Some people crack jokes like,“Oh, it’s just women’s judo …” But Idon’t take it personally.

Do you hear a lot of “Asian MartialArts” cracks?

I do get a lot of misconceptions ofwhat judo is, like the “judo chop.”There’s no chopping in judo; it’sthrowing and chokeholds.
