I am constantly amazed (and impressed) by what these athletes can train their bodies to do, given the time and personal committment. At the end of the day, the winners (and even participants) know that no one else in the world can lift as much weight, run as fast, jump as high, or spin as many times as they can. Commercialism aside, the continued traditions are a testament to the inconquerable spirit of man. I can't wait for this year's contest to begin. I love the olympics, particularly the non-team events.
