-- now -- author and contributing writer for New York Times magazine Microsoft Office with us Michael interview -- stories months before last year's Olympic Games in London.
In the -- or even to the -- gun range.
Good afternoon sir thanks for coming.
We welcome you you've told our brokers -- bit Oscar for stories when he couldn't sleep well he'd go to the gun -- Oscar and unlike most high performance athletes.
Who trained and eat and sleep the very restless man.
Often didn't sleep well and going to the range was one of the things that he did when he couldn't sleep and it's not coming -- of most of the student settle us down but -- one afternoon.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Well first -- like Oscar and I like after -- very much.
He's a magnetic.
Charismatic.
Highly intelligent man.
I think that my reaction Oscars there's a pretty common one Oscar brought people to him he's very relational.
In my experience he treated people men and women with respect.
So this is a shock you know an absolute shock to me -- it and it saddens me.
It's not something that that I would have ever expected out of him I haven't heard people talk about him as having a violent streak.
I didn't say it.
You know he had a risk taking streak -- Oscar drives his car which is a race car it's not something you can even get.
At a normal dealership -- literally a 150 miles an hour.
You he crashed his speed boat.
He races dirt bikes I mean this is a guy with a lot of physical bearing.
So -- worried about him hurting himself I didn't see him hurting someone else.
I'm reading some quotes here.
We should go to the range she said he -- nine millimeter handgun into boxes of ammunition.
We got back to the car and drove to that range where he instructed you as the writer of this on proper technique.
He was a good coach you wrote.
He was a good coach you know it wasn't some crazed person that a at a range I mean he showed me the gun he showed me -- -- work out a loaded he.
Cautioned me not the point in anyone's direction.
And it was a sport to him and it was.
There was thought it was a tool to him it wasn't something that seemed to me that to animate him in in any kind of alarming way.
Well a lot of court yet to be yet to be had it's it's it's good of you to be here thank you what Michael soft cloth from the New York Times appreciate it.
