Fragile Egos Are Put On The Line

For Athletes, The Olympics Are The Ultimate Test Of Their Worth.

I'm Very Determined And Stubborn. There's A Desire In Me That Makes Me Want To Do More And More, And To Do It Right. Each One Of Us Has A Fire In Our Heart For Something. It's Our Goal In Life To Find It And To Keep It Lit.

If I Had A Bad Performance In A Particular Leotard, I Threw It In The Trash.

There Can Be Distractions, But If You're Isolated From The Heart Of The Games, The Olympics Become Just Another Competition.

Former Olympians Also Get Paid To Make Appearances. Many Of Them Won Their Medals In An Era When Olympic Success Didn't Go Hand-in-hand With Financial Success.
