Olympian draws dark parallel

Says elite athletes share some attributes with psychopaths

Elite athletes share certain characteristics with psychopaths, according to Britain's most decorated female Olympian, Katherine Grainger.

The 40-year-old Scot - who defied the skeptics to take silver in the women's double sculls in Rio to medal in her fifth Games - came to that conclusion when she wrote her dissertation on psychopaths for a Masters in medical law and ethics, to add to her degree in law.
