The long and arduous road to Olympic glory is hidden within these records.
Noone except Olympians themselves know of the sacrifice and daily challenges --
some
physical, some emotional. When the hour arrives for the competition to begin,
it is a joyous, yet nervous time for all, the culmination of all that has lead to this point.
We look back with great satisfaction and look forward with great hope!
Let us all give thanks for those who provide encouragement and support in so many ways!
