------------------------------------------
When he stepped off the plane in Washington D. C, following the 1992 Winter Games, and everyone in the terminal started clapping. Paul Wylie almost stopped in his tracks. Who’s behind me? He wondered. Despite the silver medal in his pocket, he couldn’t believe that the applause was for him. From that moment on, Paul recognized that his life would never be the same.
1992年冬奧會閉幕後，保羅·懷利抵達華盛頓。走下飛機時，歡迎的人群開始鼓掌。他差點停下了腳步。誰在後麵呀？他心裡嘀咕。雖說有銀牌在囊中，他怎麼也不敢相信這掌聲是獻給他的。從那一刻起，保羅意識到自己的生活從此永遠地改變了。
The silver medal he earned in Albertville, France, ushered the 27-year-old figure skater into a new existence. He was no longer a nobody who choked at big events, like the 1988 Calgary Olympics, where he finished an unimpressive 10th. No longer the recipient of advice from judges who, after Paul’s performance in the 91 World Championships, suggested that he quit：“Make room for the younger skaters.”

這位27歲的花樣滑冰運動員在法國的阿爾貝維爾獲得了銀牌，從此走向全新的生活。1988年的卡爾加裡冬奧會上，他表現平平，隻得了第10名，可如今他再也不是在大型賽事中舉止失措的無名小卒了；1991年的世界錦標賽上，保羅比賽結束後，裁判建議他退出冰壇，“給年輕選手讓位”，如今再也聽不到這樣的建議了。
No longer the target of loaded questions from reporters covering the 91 Olympic Trials. No longer the skater incapable of finishing ahead of U. S. National Champion Todd Eldredge or three-time defending World Champion Kurt Browning of Canada. Now Paul
跟蹤報道1991年冬奧會選拔賽的記者們曾問他“你來這兒乾什麼？”，如今再也不會有這種別有用心的提問了。他再也不是美國冠軍托德·埃爾德雷奇的手下敗將，再也不會被三度問鼎世界冠軍寶座的加拿大運動員庫爾特·布朗寧
