a field of dreams...
pain...agonies...falls and rises...
endless hours...tedious tasks...
heavy sweat...

tears of despair...tears of joy...
envy of a first place...
long years of struggle...
all for a one minute stand...

one billion...eyes...
one sentiment...
do or die...in the heat of the struggle...

all alone...in the middle of huge crowd...
no one to help...except yourself...
all for the glory ...
finally you have become an Olympian like the rest...
