This plaque was my most favorite part of the whole museum. I love this saying. It could apply to so many things in our lives. Think of how great each and everyone of us would be in our lives if we lived by this motto.
It was an amazing museum. Instead of old stuff it showed personal things of some of the athletes. We did an audio tour so that we wouldn't miss anything.
Alex is look at and touching the medals in those little cubbie holes.
Is this guy thinking of his victory on his bike race, is he thinking at age 47 I can maybe get myself fit to compete in the next olympics, or is he thinking man those guys must have been exhausted after their bike races, I know I sure am. (Steve actually rides one or two bike races a year. One is usually 85 Kilo (52 miles) and the other 90 kilo (55 miles) He is my hero each year as he gets fit and rides these races.)
They had an area set up to show each category of sport. They also had display and video of the athletes taking oaths, drug testing facility and housing for the athletes.
The gentleman who brought back the Olympics in the early 1800 also had the idea for this area. It is kind of like the Olympic headquarters.
This is in the park leading up to the museum.
This is the ever burning flame.
It was fun to see how equipment has changed over the years. At one stage it said some athletes just come up with ideas to improve things, also some companies try and design equipment to make things better. Apparently some ideas and things work and some fail.
It was a great tour and a great day!
