No one is born an Olympian. Olympians are made. They are moulded from more than strength and speed, they are made from something else. They express absolute focus on the road to their dreams. For decades we’ve been keeping and recognizing those on track. Whatever their journey, no matter the conditions, this is our passion. So whatever you want to achieve, Olympic glory or an everyday goal, keep going. Stay true. Chase your dream, no matter what.
