Britain's three-time Olympic javelin thrower Goldie Sayers has said she does not want an elbow
injury to put an end to her career and will be pursuing a place at Rio 2016. Sayers, 30, from
Cambridge, competed at London 2012 with a torn elbow ligament. She told BBC Look East: "I'd
hate to be in a position where my career was over through injury, not through choice. I think I'll
get fit again post-surgery, but it's quite a tricky joint. I'm still very motivated."
The summer was a mixed one for Sayers, who finished fourth in the European Championships
before breaking her own British record with a throw of 66.17m at the London Diamond League
Meeting in July, a month before the Olympics. But she ruptured an elbow ligament at the event
and, despite being cleared to compete at the Games, exacerbated the injury and failed to qualify
for the final.
"I had the operation three months ago but it's been a bit trickier than previous operations to get
back to full fitness," said the British number one. "I'm still rehabbing and hoping to be back in full
training by January."

Who’s feeling stressed? Young adults, new survey shows
Stress levels for Americans have taken a decidedly downward turn across the USA —
except for young adults, whose stress is higher than the national norm, says a survey to be
released Thursday. Those aged 18-33 — the Millennial generation — are plenty stressed. (…)
On a 10-point scale, where 1 means "little or no stress" and 10 means "a great deal of stress,"
the 2012 average is 4.9. But for Millennials, it's 5.4.
"Younger people do tend to be more stressed than older people do. It may be they are
more willing to admit to it. It may be a phase of life. They just don't know where they're going in
life," says Mike Hais of Arcadia, Calif., a market researcher and co-author of two books on that
generation, including 2011's Millennial Momentum. But for this group, there is more cause for
worry, Hais says. "Millennials are growing up at a tough time. They were sheltered in many
ways, with a lot of high expectations for what they should achieve. Individual failure is difficult to
accept when confronted with a sense you're an important person and expected to achieve.
Even though, in most instances, it's not their fault — the economy collapsed just as many of
them were getting out of college and coming of age — that does lead to a greater sense of
stress," he says. (…)
But the stress can become too much and lead to other problems, suggests clinical
psychologist Norman Anderson, CEO of the Washington, D.C.,-based psychological
association. "Stress is a risk factor for both depression and anxiety," he says. "We don't have
data on the specific causes of depression and anxiety in this sample, but it does make sense
scientifically that the Millennials who report higher levels of stress in their lives are also reporting
higher levels of depression and anxiety." (…). Ronald Kessler of Harvard Medical School in
Boston, who has studied the prevalence of mental disorders in the USA, says it is difficult to
know whether young people are more troubled today, because few surveys in the past asked
the questions to provide a valid long-term look at depression and anxiety disorders. (…) Kessler
says young people do have higher rates of anxiety and depression, but rates go down in middle
age and then rise again in the late 70s. And a new generation of doctors is more willing to
discuss mental health, he says. "Anybody who has anxiety or depression today would be more
likely to be told they have it than if they went to a doctor 20 years ago."
To cope with stress, Millennials are more likely to report sedentary behaviours, such as
eating (36%) or playing video games or surfing the Internet (41%), the survey finds. But the
most common coping mechanism is listening to music, cited by 59% of young adults; 51%
exercise or walk, about the same as the national average (52%)."They also showed the highest
level (compared with other generations) of spending time with friends and family as a way of
coping with stress, which is very good," says Anderson. Forty-six per cent cited that, compared
with 35%-38% of the other groups and a national average of 39%.
