Mind focused
Body hard trained for years
Formidable arduous sweating work
Directed by a coach.
Strenuous training schedule
Overwhelming every day
Toning up the muscles
Ambition set upon the games,
Selected for your country
With only one thought in mind
To make your parents proud
And wear an Olympic medal.
Standing proud on the podium
Weeping as your country's flag is raised
With a medal round your neck
Resplendent Gold, Silver or Bronze.
Hero of the games, role model
For the children of the world
You wrote your name in Glory
Made your country forever proud.
