Some people think that Olympians set out just to get medals. But I believe that there is much more character, respect, and responsibility needed to do just what Olympians do.

Character is something so vital in a Olympian life. The dictionary defines character as “the aggregate of features and traits that form the individual nature of some person or thing.” To be a real Olympian you have to train hard, never give up, never doubt your self, be dedicated, preserve, be consistent, and so much more. If Rachael Flatt ever gave up or didn't train hard, she wouldn't be on the US Olympic team. This is the same for many athletes.

Respect is a very important thing for all Olympians. They must respect their coaches, teammates, and other competitors. Without respect for their coaches, they would probably not have a coach at all! And if they did, their routines, performances, etc, would not be as good as they could be. Respect for for teammates and other competitors is very important. You have to respect for your competitors or sometimes you can get kicked out of the competition. Respect also ties into responsibility.

Responsibility is something all Olympians should have no matter where they come from or where there going. Responsibility in the dictionary is defined as, "a duty to be in charge of someone or something, so that you make decisions and can be blamed if something bad happens." And that is true, people blame you if you don't live up to your responsibility. Olympians have to have responsibility not to cheat. In the dictionary cheating is defined as, "to behave in a dishonest way in order to win or to get an advantage, especially in a competition, game, or examination." Cheating is a horrible thing. One Olympics long along a figure skater sent a person to break both of her competitor's legs. She succeeded in pulling off the plot and days later the competitor's legs were both broken.

As you can see, Olympians must have lots of qualities to to what Olympians do, like having character, respect, and responsiblity.
