OlympicIRL 4,769 Posted August 18, 2016 #181 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Exactly, age is nothing when it comes to motivation. Some athletes retire very young when they get a medal because they don't want to go through another 4-year cycle of intense training and diverting focus from family, studies, or whatever else it may be. Other athletes just love the thrill of winning medals or staying at the top for as long as possible. Edited August 18, 2016 by OlympicIRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
