It takes a huge amount of planning to make sure you are ready to take part in any Olympic event.

There are many famous names who have won Olympic medals: Sebastian Coe, Sally Gunnell, Linford Christie, Kelly Holmes, Daley Thomson, Katherine Merry, Steve Redgrave, Liz McColgan, Lennox Lewis and many more. All of these people would have put loads of time and effort into their training to make sure that they were at the fittest they could be when the actual event took place.

Most people who enter the Olympics will have their own personal trainer who will make sure that they are at their best. This includes making sure that they eat well, and that their lifestyle is right for the training that they are doing. You wouldn't be able to go out to loads of parties and do all of the training you need to do to enter the Olympics!

If you are keen on sport, and want to enter the Olympics, the important thing is that you do something you enjoy. Most Olympic sports people need to train all year round just for that one event! And that training involves warming up properly before you begin and warming down when you have finished.

You might need to run two or three miles a week, or even more - it would be a waste of a lot of time and effort if you didn't actually enjoy it!
