Olympians

Mary Lou Retton (American gymnast, 1984 Summer Olympics)

There can be distractions, but if you're isolated from the heart of the Games, the Olympics become just another competition.

Athletes that come from all parts of the world to come together at every Olympics to compete at the Olympics is always gratifying with so much talent displayed . Without the determination and dedication to these olympians its just not gold medal material.

DREAMS OF ALL OLYMPIANS

OLYMPIC ATHLETES CONQUEST

Anatole France: To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

Just to be in the Olympics is a feet all its own, for many. Representing your country in a world event is a honor like no other. Once that first medal is placed on the first Olympian to win gold brings the realization to all athletes that's why Im here to get a medal and to show the world that I deserve it as well. Its also a sad story for many who have come so close to claiming a medal in the games and come short, but like all dreams , if you strive hard enough you can do anything that you put your heart into.
