アリアドネとイーライが、謎の人物からメールをもらったようですが、その内容は、私達のロストスポーツの記録を伸ばす手助けをしたい、との事。7周サーキットは、多世界からかなり遅れをとっていますし、助けて頂けるのなら、とてもありがたいとは思うのですが、、、

彼は、オリンピックのチャンピオンで、過去に私達のような女性を知っていたそうで、アリアドネの最初のビデオを見て、何か自分に出来る事はないだろうか、と考えたようです。

金メダルのために走る、というのがどういうものかを知っている、激しい競争の中で集中する方法を知っている、そして、最強の選手達と立ち向かい、彼らに打ち勝つことを知っている、と言っているようですが、、、メールは、ftwmcd@gmail.com から来ていたようです。本当にオリンピックの金メダリストの方なんでしょうか？一体誰なんでしょうか。。。

Dear Ariadne,

You've never met me, but I met someone like you many years ago, just once, but it was one of the strangest conversations I've ever had. She didn't know as much as you do. She only knew she had to be in Los Angeles that year, and that she had a mission she couldn't complete alone. I don't think she got any further than that, and I didn't know enough to help her then. I had my own race to run.

To be honest, I forgot all about her. But seeing your "Hello world" video, and watching your "lost sport" videos, I remembered. And I think I finally understand. I think there have been athletes like you for many, many years, playing on the sidelines of the Games. I think many Olympic athletes such as myself have met many Olympic travelers such as yourself. But who knows if any of us every really understood that your games were as important as ours.

Well, I can't make sense of it all. But I have a degree in physics, and the lore of the athletic multiverse intrigues me. The physics does make sense. It works. The codex is a strange text, but a logical one.

I would like to help you and your friends.

I know what it feels like to run for the gold. I know how to focus in the heat of competition. I know how to win against the best of the best.

If you could use the help of an Olympic champion, I am here to play with you.

-E.

Ariadne and Eli both seem to have received an email from a mistery person, which wrote he wants to help us getting our time faster. We're racing the 7-circuit much slower than the other worlds, so it would be appreciated if he could help us ....
He was an Olympic champion, and he said he met someone like us many years ago, and he seems to have thought what he could do after watching Ariadne's first video.
He seems to say "I know what it feels like to run for the gold. I know how to focus in the heat of competition. I know how to win against the best of the best" ....

The writer's email address is ftwmcd@gmail.com. Who could it be? A real Olympic champion, do you think?
