=What it takes to be an Olympian=

Although there are many things you need to do to be an Olympian I belive you need to never give up,Love the sport and be a team player.
One thing you must do to be an Olympian is never give up. Like Apollo Ohno who fell back to last place in the 1000 meter race and still persevered and got silver.There also was a speed skater named Dan Janson and hours before his race his sister died.He promised her that he would win gold,he didn't.On his last lap he fell and his competitor took gold.But he didn't give up and kept traning for the next Olympics and he did win gold.

Another thing you must do to be an Olympian is love the sport your in. It's important to love the sport because it takes thousands of hours of practice.For example take Shaun White. If he didn't love snowboarding he would not have practiced since age 6 ,to help him to be skilled enough to win gold for the U.S.A. And the Olympics would not be as fun to watch because the level of skill would not be great

Thridly, what it takes to be an Olympian is being a team player. For example a four man bobsled team. That takes precisce teamwork because every person in the bobsled is important from the begining to the end. In the begining of a run they all have to sprint to get the bobsled going. In the middle of the run everyone must turn in the right way or the sled will tip. In the end all of them must sit up to stop.

These are just some of the many important things that it takes to be an Olympain. The Olympics have been important thing in history because the best athletes compete since greek times.
