Events in all types of sports will be held in this magnificent array of countries all brought together in harmony for the biggest sporting competitions in the world. Only the best athletes from around the world will be here to compete in the great Olympic games. 3 Dedication and determination is the only way to get to the Olympics and achieve the highest award, a gold medal. If you do not train every hour of every day, the chances of becoming one of the greatest athletes is not very good. A gold medal definitely takes a lot of persistence and training.
Many people give all recognition to only the athlete.
It is not only the athlete, but also the ones that spend those long hard hours of working with them everyday. The trainers of these athletes work just as hard as the athletes themselves. Therefore when the athlete is given a gold, silver, or bronze metal, so is the athlete. To succeed in winning a gold you have to be just a little faster or a little stronger than the ones you are competing against. The sport you are taking part in has to be your true love and dedication, because the chance of winning that gold that you are training for does not happen to everyone.
