再三思索我所得来的最好的言论报道是来自尼日利亚以2比1战胜美国的那场比赛，这意味着美国不能进入四分之一决赛。奥运新闻服务小组很关注尼日利亚队员，认为胜者的言论更有新闻价值，但我却收集了来自美国队未上场的球员弗瑞德•阿杜的言论。本来我没有计划采访阿杜，因为他没上场。但是我却聆听了其他美国记者对他的提问，并且非常幸运得到了附带了个人感情色彩的精彩言论。他说没有参加比赛，也就没法和他的队友们一起并肩作战，这是他职业生涯中最糟糕的经历。而这些言论被《中国日报》(北京英文报纸)还有其很多网站像：《华盛顿时报》、《纽约日报》和ussoccer.com所引用。

    Olympic Water Polo Referee from Britain

    来自英国的奥运水球裁判

    Brian Littlejohn, a research funding co-ordinator at Sheffield Hallam University, is the only water polo referee from the UK to go to China. He has previously refereed at a number of international tournaments, including the World Championships in 2003, but this is his first Olympics. He is also a member of Sheffield Water Polo Club, has represented both Scotland and Great Britain in tournaments and has been refereeing internationally since 1997. With 12 men's and 8 women's teams competing in the Olympics it is a full schedule of matches. From over 200 qualified referees worldwide, only 24 have been invited to officiate at the Olympic Games.
