Heard on NBC: 'go to the 'Hurt' locker"

[Wilson Gray]

Americans speaking:

In context, this appears to mean to

"ignore the effects of stress, fatigue, lactic-acid build-up, etc. and
continue to try to win"

or something along those lines:

A. "He's not going to quit. He's an expert at _going to the 'Hurt' locker_."
B. "Yes. He *dives* into it!"



"DIS tribute" instead of "diSTRI-bute": BrE-speaker Ian Williams, NBC News.

This stress-pattern is also used by Jamaicans. By those who made the
Olympic team anyhow.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
