Most Olympians train less than 40 hours per week. Yes, they make some sacrifices, such as not having that ice cream or drinking water at the bar but it's very possible (and normal) to have a life outside training.
Besides, nobody's gonna sponsor a boring Olympian.
- h2odragon 4y agoThe Olympic level athlete I knew trained most every moment she had that wasn't committed to other things, like school and sleep. Her life from about age 5 to 17 or so was about her sport. I dunno what sports might require "sacrificing ice cream" but AFAIK Olympians are nuts and have very little life after their events.
- benreesman 4y agoYeah, the elite coders I’ve known don’t do anything else. Sometimes a light gym routine to keep their posture in place for the high-G burn.
