    Bolt up next.

    I am rooting for Gatlin. He actually clocked higher than Bolt in the semis yeaterday.
    I'm cheering for Shakur Stevenson. He fights Saturday 20.Aug.2016 at 1:15pm for USA's Bantamweight Gold. If Shakur wins, he's set for life.

    We had the TDF just before the Olympics, and the TDF is always inspiring.

    Then the Olympics ... which are almost over.

    But as they finish the Vuelta starts!

    Tour de France, then the Olympics 2016, then the 2000 mile Vuelta bicycle race. That's a full calendar.

    Definitely. Especially because I want to look athletic. I don't want to just be skinny, I'd like to have some actual muscle definition, 16-17% bodyfat or so. So their physiques really motivate me.

    There has been enough time for the athletes of the The 2016 Summer Olympics to accumulate sponsors. But I have not yet heard about them. The same Olympians who provided me with two weeks of motivation deserve to at least be on the side of a cereal box, or a pop-up advertisement.

    No because I don't have any of their abilities or genetics. I am in awe of what they do though.

    What inspires me are EVERYDAY people who have physical difficulties, yet exceed what regular people do.

    Inspired? I think they're incredibly dedicated and gifted athletes. I'm just trying to keep up with my wife and kids and not scare the ever living hell out of the neighbor's when I take my shirt off for a jog.
