London 2012 Olympics

I've written about a few icons now, and I suppose I was hoping to see some common traits - some personal characteristics that set these iconic individuals apart from their contemporaries. 

There's always excellence in their sport, for one thing. There's determination, there's huge talent and there's a lot of hard work. Often there are medals, but not always. There's normally failure or struggle, as well as success - if winning were easy then it wouldn't be as impressive or the quest for it so driving.
