International Competition

International competition: International competition is one thing but the Olympics is unparalleled when it comes to testing the steeliest of nerves. I know as I have been there..., according to The Star. The difference of a medal finish is measured in a hundredth of a second or a fraction of a centimetre. There is no margin for error least of all a small chink in ones psychological armour. Often times for those who make the podium it may not be because they are physically superior but that they are able to perform better under the immense pressure and As an ex Olympic athlete I cannot help but wonder how many of the athletes competing in these Games will be significantly changed because of them. Every single cell in an athletes body is at 100 percent capacity by this time, having trained and visualized this moment over a virtual lifetime. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
