The Olympics have been with the world since 776 B.C., and have only been interrupted by war, especially in the modern era.

The Olympic Games of the Modern Era began in 1896 in the city of Athens.

There is no magic move or secret that creates victory but lots of little items that, when added together, can make you victorious.

The East Germans first used biomechanics. This meant that rather than guessing about technique and form, they could apply changes to athletic performance based on science.

My family knew, but most of the sporting world did not realize that my right hand been some 75% paralyzed.

Once you have selected a sport or a creative activity, the rules are pretty much the same.

My Olympic voyage has continued because it is so rewarding.
