Being in jail, or poor, or uneducated doesn't determine how free you can be. There are really only two types of people. Either you're running scared or you're running free. I choose to run free, and you can, too, no matter what your circumstances in life.

The games were once your fellow Olympians answer to war โ competition, not conquest. Now, they must be your answer.
