Pay that.
These threads are oft inhabited by newbies looking for advice, well there are two inspirational things that they could take home from Beijing amogst all of the outstanding stuff I mean.
1) Reaction time. Oz's Sally McLellan out of the blocks in .138 of a second.
2) Determination. USA's swimmer Michael Phelps. This kid as a fifteen year old visited the Sydney Olympics, was tremendously inspired, already had a swim coach and I guess a rich daddy, however, he went home and said to his coach, that he was gonna be a successful Olyimpian.
True grit, if you wish and try hard enough, you can.
