Olympic Medals

 I would imagine that winning Olympic medals is quite anti-climactic when there is nothing that really follows that moment and initial high unless athletes choose to begin again with training and competing in hopes of being a part of the next Olympics.  It must feel rather empty for it to all just be over after putting so much ambition, time, and heart into their sport and goal.  They would then have to find a new meaning, purpose and ambition for their lives.
