Clothes make the athlete? The U.S. Olympic Committee reprimanded diver Mary Ellen Clark for not wearing its official outfit to the medal stand. The standouts if dressing were an event:
BEST OPENING-CEREMONY OUTFIT
[Gold] The Virgin Islands, whose resort wear showed a charming lack of stuffiness and was perfect for the steamy Atlanta weather.
[Silver] France. Red, white and blew everyone else away.
[Bronze] Lida Fariman of Iran who, true to her religion, exposed only her wrist and face.
LEAST MODEST DISPLAY
[Gold] Alexei Nemov, who made a display of himself by removing his shirt during an exhibition.
[Silver] Marie-Jose Perec, who showed a lot of cheek in winning the 400 and the 200.
[Bronze] Italian mountain biker Paola Pezzo, who, like many, unzipped her top while racing. It's not a sport for Iranian women.
BEST HAIR
[Gold] Blaine Wilson, who attempted to pull off the Alfalfa middle part. Degree of difficulty: 4.0.
[Silver] Hungarian hurdler Levente Csillag, with the logo dye job.
[Bronze] The U.S. women's softball team, whose commitment to unity extended to many of them having the same perm.

LOCAL HEROES
ERIC STUMACHER, 50; EAST SULLIVAN, NEW HAMPSHIRE; founder, Playing for Peace program
Since 1988, Stumacher has brought music students from Israel, Syria, Egypt and Jordan to the Apple Hill Summer School to play together for a month. "The energy that happens when people play chamber music together creates very strong feelings of inspiration, communication and commonness of purpose," he says. Next he hopes to bring together musicians from England and Ireland and North and South Korea.
GILLIAN KILBERG, 17; MCLEAN, VIRGINIA; high school senior
When her grandmother died last year, Kilberg wanted to honor her memory in a way that would benefit the community. With the $20,000 she inherited (and help from donors like Colin Powell) she started Grandma Rita's Children, a day camp for needy children. Its inaugural year has included trips to an Orioles game and a Motown concert. "This lets these kids be kids and gives them hope that there is a world outside their everyday environment."
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
