OLYMPIC GAMES - WHAT DOES IT MEAN? (PART II)

Sven Maresch (GER)

“I am really happy to be a part of the German team, Olympic athlete and want to develop my inner fire to be successful as much as I can. The special atmosphere of the Games, of which I’ve heard – I want to feel and experience for myself. I want to be together with all these people who love sport and celebrate this in a peaceful way, hopefully. It’s an honor and pleasure at the same time and a step up in my mind to another level.“

Yarden Gerbi (ISR)

“There is one quote Gail Devers (former athlete) that for a long time has driven me: ‘Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.‘ I feel good, my preparation is good and I’m ready to fight more than 100 percent every second on the mat.”

Odette Giuffrida (ITA)

“I will fight with all I have, until my last strength, to fulfill my dream and to get the gold medal! At the Olympics I will have a free mind and a full heart.”
