Description: b Moscow, residence (Johannesburg. Sport coach.
I will definitely be very honoured and at the moment this (representing South Africa at the Athens Olympics) is all I can dream of. Being a sportsman since I was 8, this would be the highest achievement of my whole sports life. So I am holding my breath and praying for dream to come true.
Olympic Hero: My Olympic hero is Russian Rhythmic gymnasts Alina Kabaeve.

She is a multiple world champion.

At the Sydney Olympic Games she has made a very big mistake that has placed her 5th after 2nd apparatus. No one believed that she could recover from this set back, but she got up and scored the two highest scores on her remaining two apparatus. Overall she got a bronze medal, but she showed strength, confidence and a huge power of will.

No one now can probably remember the Olympic Champion of 2000, but many people applauded Kabaeve during the medal presentation. She will be remembered and admired for years to come. sentation. This kind of personality is the true Olympic Champion.
