Nadine Kincaid (Security Services) just returned from her third stint as an Olympic volunteer after serving in the press operations department at the Summer Games in London. After the medal events, one athlete from each team/event is selected to go to a press interview with their coach. Nadine watched about two-thirds of each competition to which she was assigned, then held microphones and Dictaphones for the journalists. She also escorted athletes to and from press conferences. Besides working with gymnasts and trampolinists, Nadine held microphones for interviews with members of the men’s and women’s gold-medal-winning U.S. basketball teams. As Nadine put it, it was “truly a dream-come-true job assignment.â€
