2. I always wonder about the struggling athlete, the athlete that works hard to not make it by hundredths of a second.  If you want an article on that you have come to the wrong place.  This week you need to think top of the game, the one that make the cut by a hundredth and get that Golden opportunity.  Check out Gold Medal Mel’s blog for more http://www.goldmedalmel.typepad.com/mel/2010/02/apolo-ohno-turns-olympic-medals-into-endorsement-gold-.html
