“Geoff gave us an added dimension during these Olympics. His sense of being totally in control brought a feeling of calmness to the hype that this US team experienced on its journey of becoming the first US team to qualify for the final series of any international competition. He is simply a young man in a class of his own, in a hurry to get to the top”
