Larry Niven Stephen Barnes - Achilles' Choice

Okay so the cover sort of grabbed me.  This was an old school book.  Love Niven so decided to give this a read.  Okay but not great...would have fit better in a book of short stories.  The ideals were never fully delved into and I thought the ending was kind of forced.  I mean the whole Olympic thing was just kind of thrown aside.  Very disappointing.  As an aside, I have read three books in the last 6 days and two of them had references to toast (Variable Star about putting toast on the back of cat...and Gum Thief...lots of toast stories and then variable star made reference to angels on a pin head and then Achilles Choice did the same...weird)
