RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Kami Craig felt sorry for Maddie Musselman. She was sure Musselman would be bored while rooming with her on a trip to China with the U.S. women's water polo team.
Then she noticed something about the precocious teenager.
"Just her attention to detail," the 29-year-old Craig said. "She's incredibly organized. I watched her how she unpacked her bag and set things out. ... The way that she handles herself so professionally."
Well beyond her years.
Musselman, who turned 18 in June, went from long shot for the 2016 Olympics to key contributor for an athletic American squad favored to win a second straight gold medal.
