How far does an Olympic Athlete plan before they run in The Games?
by lolojones
So its only 2009 but I am out here in Kobe, Japan designing a spike that will help me win the Gold medal in the 2012 Olympic games. Yesterday was a very long day. Not only was i jet lagged but i was poked and prodded like I was a lab rat. The first thing they did was hook me up to computers with sensors. Asics did this by taping little gray balls all around my feet and ankles. As I ran the information was relayed back to three computers that broke down my every step. I learned that the shoe I had been wearing for three years was the wrong shoe for me. At the Olympics Games,I made a very small mistake, that cost me the gold medal. The shoes I was wearing for that race allowed my feet to collapse too much! can we all say hmmmmm.. The shoe designers was very shocked that I ran so fast with that shoe seeing how it was not a good match for my foot. So I left day one immensely please that maybe I could break the world record!
