2 Read the article quickly. Answer the questions.
1 What is the article about
2 Is it from an encyclopaedia entry, an academic book or possibly a blog
3 Who do you think the writer is
The article tells the story of an athlete and the sacrifices she made for her sport.
I think it is from a blog.
I think the writer is a triathlete.
Why do Olympic athletes push themselves to the limits As one of the Olympic athletes, I miss birthday parties, ruin family holidays and skip nights out, but there is a very good reason for giving up so much, “We’re worried about you,” said my friend from across the table, He was worried that l had no longer become fun to train with and that l was in danger of being left with only a world championship medal and no one to share it with.
I could have become angry or defensive. Don’t they know how hard it is to be at the top in sport Don’t they know what it takes to get there However. deep down I knew elements of what he was saying were right. I was always tired and every workout had a mental intensity that seemed too much for most to handle. I was pushing the limits and extremes beyond what most thought were healthy.
These are the fears I face as a professional athlete on a day-to-day basis. Who am I doing this for How much is too much Why am l doing this How can l be so selfish What are the sacrifices for
I think of countless birthday parties and nights out I have missed, ruining a family holiday in France because of the endless search for a swimming pool to train in, almost missing my brother’s wedding because l was too busy hiring a car in downtown Johannesburg and driving through the “no-go” areas in order to do a group ride with the local triathletes. The list is endless.
It boils down to this: l was born with an enormous amount of drive and determination. From a small girl, I would stay in at lunch time just to get ahead on class work rather than go out and play; l would get the bus on my own at ten years old and go to swim 100 lengths of the pool while other kids played pool games; I was the only girl in a rugby club of 250 boys. I have always lived my life to extremes. Call it unhealthy if you want, but that is the way I roll. no matter what it is I’m applying myself to.
Being a professional athlete is no different. If you want to be an Olympic champion. it’s all about that little extra thing you have done in your preparation that will set you apart from your competitors.
Can this be overdone Absolutely. But if your dream is to be the best and reach the winner’s platform, you had better be totally committed to your sport, In the words of the British triathlete Alistair Brownlee, even if it mean getting injured, “l’d prefer to have three or four outstanding years of winning stuff rather than have ten years of being average.”
