The 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.
