Infact in America each athlete must pay their own way to the Olympics are are only rewarded if they win. There are over 600 athletes on team USA and very few are popular enough to get sponsorships.

@@Kolazola yeah and not only in America tbh, in other countries as well. In my country (Singapore) swimmers get very little incentive (besides the cash rewards if you win in major competitions like olympics, Asian games, SEA games etc) the rest of it we pretty much pay everything ourselves. For certain meets, if you win they may subsidize the cost of the trip. Majority of the swimmers would not win or even get a medal (2nd and 3rd places are sometimes partially subsidize) so we are literally paying to represent our country in competitions.

Here in France, Laure is still a true legend of swimming, years after she left the sport and ended her career. By winning in Athens at the age of 17, she became the first French Olympic gold medalist in swimming in decades and paved the way for more successful games for our team in the following Olympics.

Federica couldn’t handle it that Laure was beating her, so she went after her boyfriend, Luca Marin. After Laure and Marin had a really nasty breakup, magically he was dating Federica right away, and magically nude photos of Laure were released. She was never the same after that. Laure Manaudou, in my opinion, was the most naturally gifted swimmer since Tracy Caulkins, and I have no doubt that had she not gone to Italy, she would have won a number of gold medals in Beijing.

I can personally relate to Laure because something similar has happened to me as well. I´m a former athlete in a different sport, and while I was preparing for my last world championship, my boyfriend, who was also my coach, cheated on me with another athlete from a different country. At first, I decided to get myself together and went abroad to train with another coach, who was really amazing. But while I was away, my ex let this other person into our home, sleep in my bed and even bought things for her with my money. This person was aware of everything that was going on because she was stalking him for almost a year, bevor making her move. The psychological pain was unbearable and I even cried while competing. Said year, I managed to place at different championships, but could never get first place. After almost one year, the person got pregnant, which totally crushed me, and forced me to quit competing for good. Afterwards I was not able to train in any sport for over 5 month, as it was making me sick. Nowadays I train in another sport just for fun, but the wounds open up everytime I have to face a hard training session.

Much like Michael Phelps, she has a body for swimming. It’s too bad she never really enjoyed it, she has a natural gift.

He was so fed up with swimming that he tried (with no success) hand-ball. He came back to swimming because he is very gifted and has the Olympics in mind.

I was completely intrigued by this story throughout. Great production and story telling.

I trained from the age of 11yrs - 17yrs, no parental encouragement, simply my own choice, 6-8 hours a day and up to 18 hours a day on weekends, it hurt it was bloody at times, I scraped my hands on the concrete or bitumen and wrecked my nails and stubbed my fingers. I practiced in the rain often for hours. Young people hate lots of things and so training is always going to be one of them, I mean who the hell chooses broccoli over cheese cake.. Im 50 now and I do :) my wife is a great cook. Laure is very inspirational. If Laure is coming back then she has a longer harder road than she has ever trodden before. She must train all day all night eat well do the reps in and out of the pool and think winning. That to me will be something to see if she gets there.
