The Stanford swimmer Ben Wildman-Tobriner won the 50-meter freestyle at the world championships last year in Australia.
PALO ALTO, Calif. — At last year's world championships in Australia, nobody was faster than Ben Wildman-Tobriner, who won the 50-meter freestyle. So why is it that he spends his days at the pool feeling as if he is not moving at all?
Blame life's crazy crosscurrents. Aspiring to be a doctor and an Olympian, Wildman-Tobriner is being pulled by two powerful desires: medical school and a medal.
His challenge this month is to avoid being dragged under by deadlines. June is when he is supposed to decide whether to enroll in classes this fall. It is also when the cut-down process starts for selecting the United Career fair - Jobs galoreStates swim team that will compete in the Beijing Games.

New research that makes creative use of sensitive location-tracking data from 100,000 cellphones in Europe suggests that most people can be found in one of just a few locations at any time, and that they do not generally go far from home.
"Individuals display significant regularity, because they return to a few highly frequented locations, such as home or work," the researchers found.
