To outsiders, being an Olympic athlete might seem like just another way of living the rock star lifestyle. Competitors in the Olympics are among the greatest in the world at their chosen sports, competing in games that capture the attention of millions. It seems like a life of fame and fortune — but in reality, it's neither, and it's often not very fun.

Olympic athletes face a surprising amount of struggles, both with their finances and their mental health — even the most famous ones whose names you may know. For most Olympians, the quest for athletic greatness is a lonely, low-paying painful one, which makes you wonder how they can stay so driven to succeed. This is the hard truth about being an Olympian.
