This is Sanya Richards-Ross.
She’s 31 years old， lives in Austin， Texas， and is a world champion sprinter who trains hard to be very fast. Also， she loves ice cream， cheese pizza， and Skittles. But more on that later.
She is training to qualify for the Olympic Games.
She’s already won four Olympic medals： Two golds in the 4×400 relay and one gold and one bronze in the 400-meter sprint. She was previously ranked the best 400-meter sprinter in the world.
She also does 1，000 sit-ups every night.
And cross-trains by cycling and running on an underwater treadmill.
Another important part of her training is 100% mental.
“Mental preparation is the toughest part for players，” she says. “I imagine myself on start line so when I go out on the track it feels like I’ve been here before. When I’m standing there I tell myself， ‘I’m prepared. I already won this race.’”
She also watches videos both of her own great performances on the track and of players who have done amazing things in her events.
Richards-Ross only takes six weeks off of training a year.
This means she’s working hard.
Vocabulary
Skittle n. 彩虹糖
