The mind of a sportsman

How does Ian Peel, silver medallist in the Olympic trap shooting at Sydney, concentrate his mind for an event?

"I sing to myself," the 46-year-old from Blackburn says with a boyish grin. "At the point where I'm holding the gun up, I sing, 'You fat bastard, you fat bastard, you ate all the pies'."
It's funny because it's true.
