May be d world is going gaga over gala..4 a streak of 6 gold n still counting more to his name in d beijing olympics'08..n i know every participant in d olympic is prepared both mentally n physically..4 an edge over other participant..bt i know no one can deny d true sportman is one who is more stronger mentally as in sports..every minute of display n play is a testing time...to think of it only person dat come 2 mind is eric shanteau..despite being diagnosed wid cancer..he chose 2 go n qualify 4 olypic..
