well, while we're on the topic....
i'd have to say what impressed me most of all, was the womens 26 mile marathon. The endurance in that was absolutely incredible. The amount of physical and mental training as well as psychological discipline to complete something like that is very admirable.
Second, i'd have to say still rings in gymnastics also deserves much more credit than it gets. |

well, you need discipline before you can even train, as it takes discipline to train yourself and remain trained, so I kinda consider them different, but they work hand in hand.
Mental training to me is being able to psychologically encourage yourself to succeed, finish, ignore pain, etc. making discipline just one of the elements needed to achieve that. |

stop taking it the other way you nonce
this was about the hotness of athletes who won medals. Most of them could do modeling full time and not do what they do but they want to win. |
