How many of you have been inspired by the sheer human drama of the Olympics? People who have trained hard to become world champions in their chosen sport?
Michael Phelps achieved an unprecedented 8 goal medals in one Olympic games (14 golds, 2 bronze in total). Dara Torres who has competed in 5 olympics and is 41 years old as she competes in Beijing 2008 and has won 3 silvers in swimming at this Olympics. Eric Shanteau competed despite having testicular cancer.
That's just 3 stories form swimming. There are many more.
Just watching and hearing the stories inspire us. The question is, does it inspires us just mentally or do we do something about it?
