SWING SHIFT Life after the Olympics has been beyond busy for "Dr. Dot" Richardson, 1996 gold medalist and orthopedic resident at LAC+USC Medical Center. by Monika Guttman The gold medal lies in a dresser drawer-unless someone asks her to bring it to work. Her bats rest in a corner of the house with a pool that she rents with two friends-although these days she doesn't have much time to swing a bat or swim. A year after her gold medal-winning performance as shortstop on the U.S. Women's Olympic Softball Team, Dot Richardson, M.D., is so busy being an orthopedics resident and sought-after personality that she doesn't have a second to, as she puts it, rest on her laurels. Or simply rest. "A year ago," she notes wryly, "I was definitely in better shape." Still, half the population of America wishes it had her stamina. The ever-enthusiastic, ever-energetic 35-year-old Orlando, Fla. native raves that her return to medicine after a year off to train for and participate in the Atlanta Olympics has been "fantastic." She's working more in the operating room at the LAC+USC Medical Center, she's rediscovered her passion for helping heal broken bones, and she says there's "no way" she'd give up on the two years left of her residency. "I envision having an incredible medical practice, whether I start a group or join an existing group," she predicts. As if the demands of residency weren't enough, Dr. Dot, as she's known on her Family Channel segment "Dr. Dot's Corner," has also become something of a media darling. Since last year, she has signed almost a dozen endorsement deals, including Coca-Cola and Reebok. She's just released an autobiography, "Living The Dream: My Story," and is overseeing development of a television movie about her life. She's worked as a commentator for ESPN, the all-sports cable network, and she's in demand as a motivational speaker to physician groups and corporate organizations.

"B e patient," urged then-Olympic Committee President Avery Brundage to the Amateur Softball Association (ASA). "Your sport's time will come." Well, it may have taken nearly three decades, but Softball's long journey to Olympic recognition finally ended during the summer of 1996 on the gritty ballfields of Columbus, Georgia. The Olympic dream began back in 1968 when representatives from Canada, Japan, Australia and the United States met in Stratford, Connecticut to pledge their support in creating a strong international presence for women's fast pitch softball. Before long, teams from New Zealand and New Guinea joined the others for the first Women's world championship in Australia. The wheels were in motion. Over the next 28 years, Softball spread from America's parks to the playing fields of almost every country in the world. With the tremendous growth of international and regional competitions, including the Pan American, Asian, South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Central American-Caribbean and the Central American Games, the sport flourished, building a solid foundation for the growing interest of a new generation of athletes and fans. "We've been the best-kept secret in athletic history," said Team USA shortstop Dot Richardson. "I hope we don't stay a secret forever. It's time for everyone to realize and enjoy the talent that softball has to offer."

Klaus Schormann, head of the Modern Pentathlon Federation (AP) A decision on whether to drop baseball, softball and modern pentathlon from the Olympics won't come until after the 2004 Athens Games. The International Olympic Committee chose Friday to put off a vote that could eliminate a Summer Games sport for the first time since polo in 1936. None of the 39 speakers during Friday's debate expressed support for a report that recommended trimming the three from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The report cited limited international appeal and high costs. "They've certainly gotten their warning about what our concerns are," said IOC member Dick Pound of Canada. IOC president Jacques Rogge avoided a question about whether the three sports are assured of being part of the Beijing Olympics. The sports promised to find ways to share costs - baseball plans to trim the length of its tournament and share fields with softball.

UC Olympians make history at summer games By P.G. Torrez They played for the love of the game. And in doing so, won the first Olympic gold medal ever awarded in softball. Unlike the other "Dream Team," the U.S. softball team 15 women including five University of California alumni and one incoming student was the real thing: world-class amateur athletes who captured the imagination of thousands of fans. The U.S. women's 3-1 victory over China was just one of the history-making moments for UC. At the XXVI Olympiad July 19 to Aug. 4 in Atlanta, UC's presence went beyond the athletic competitors. It encompassed coaches, athletic consultants and strategists, venue and logistics coordinators, emergency medical personnel, veterinarians, a musical composer, a network commentator and a researcher. Even before the competition began, UC captured its first Olympic medal in Atlanta this one perhaps most fitting for a world-class university. Ralph S. Paffenbarger Jr., a research epidemiologist and physician at UC Berkeley, and another researcher from the University of London were awarded the first Olympic Prizes in sports science, each carrying a $250,000 prize. They were cited for studies demonstrating that physical activity reduces the risk of heart disease. In the athletic competition, UC won 17 medals 10 gold, two silver and five bronze. If the university were a country, it would rank 15th in number of medals won, ahead of Great Britain and tied with Poland and Spain. In gold medals alone, UC would rank seventh, behind Italy and ahead of Australia, Cuba and the Ukraine.

Henneke Invited To USA Softball's Women's National Team Camp Friday, September 20, 2002 Sophomore Julie Henneke was invited to USA Softball's National Team Camp. OKLAHOMA CITY - Boston University sophomore and reigning America East Rookie of the Year Julie Henneke (Odessa, Fla.) has been invited to attend USA Softball's Women's National Team Camp. USA Softball announced today the list of 52 athletes selected to participate in the camp, set for September 26-29 at the ARCO Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif. USA Softball will select a core group of those athletes to return to the 2002 National Team Camp in June 2003. Last year, in her freshman season, Henneke was selected a Northeast Region Second Team All-American, and was named to the America East All-Conference First Team, All-Rookie Team, and All-Championship Team. The sophomore enjoyed a solid rookie season both at the plate and in the circle. She finished the season batting .321, fourth in America East, and was among the leaders in the conference in earned run average (0.96). She was 9-5 with 111 strikeouts in 97.2 innings. The players invited to the September camp are a combination of players from the 2002 Open Tryouts, members of the 2002 Women's World Team, 2002 Elite Team and at-large invitees. Henneke, the only player invited to the camp who hails from a New England-area school, was among the group of at-large invitees.

ANCIENT ORIGINS TIFF BETWEEN TOFFS STARTS THE SOFTBALL ROLLING From a tiff between Yale and Harvard rivals involving a stick and a boxing glove, softball, now played by some 20 million people worldwide but confined to women at the Olympic Games, has come a long way. The tiff, between a Yale graduate celebrating a football victory and a rival from defeated Harvard, took place at the Farragout Boating Club in Chicago. Yale man threw glove, Harvard man hit it with stick and so a sport was born as an indoor alternative to baseball in the late part of the 19th century. The Second World War helped to spread the game as soldiers brought it from the US but the sport found its greatest following among women. Australia held its first women's interstate championship in 1947 and Melbourne staged the first world championship in 1965, when the hosts beat the US 1-0.
