Get set to meet 1,500 athletes you really care about. By Mary McNamara, Times Staff Writer By the standards of the modern Olympic Games, American diver Kimiko Hirai Soldati is the perfect athlete. She has visible scars from sports-related surgeries. She has had a major career setback — the knee surgery left her unable to continue to compete in her first love, gymnastics. She has known personal adversity — her mother died after a long battle with breast cancer when Soldati was just 17; she wears her mother's wedding ring whenever she dives. Her father was born in an internment camp in Idaho, making the family's patriotism even more poignant for being hard-won. And should she win at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, she would be, at the advanced age of 30, the oldest U.S. female diver to win a medal. No matter what her diving scores, Soldati is already a favorite for the gold in the Personal Narrative Event.
