In most human skeletal muscles ( the ones that make your body move ), there are fast-twitch fibers and slow-twitch fibers . Fast-twitch fibers help us move quick Olympic weight lifters , for example , have a larg number of fast-twitch fibers in their muscles -many more than the average person .

These allow them to lift hundreds of kilos from the ground and over their heads in seconds . Surprisinga large , muscular body is not the main requirement to do well in this sport . It is more important to have a large number of fast-twitch fibers in the muscles. B allow requirement 允许 要求，必备的条件 What makes an olympic champion? The legs of an elite marathon runner , on theother hand , might contain up to 90 percent slow-twitch muscle fibers . These generate energy efficiently and enable an athlete to control fatigue and keep moving for a longer period of time .

C seem to 似乎，好象 discomfort athlete 不适，不舒服 运动员 What makes an olympic champion? For some Olympic competitors, size is important. Most male champion swimmers are 180 cm or taller, allowing them to reach longer and swim faster. For both male and female gymnasts, though, a smaller size and body weight mean they can move with greater ease, and are less likely to suffer damage when landing on the floor from a height of up to 4.5 meters. D gymnasts less likely to 体操运动员 不太可能 What makes an olympic champion? Some athletes' abilities are naturally enhanced by their environment. Those raised at high altitudes in countries such as Kenya, Ethiopia, and Morocco have blood that is rich in hemoglobin. Large amounts of hemoglobin carry oxygen around the body faster, enabling these athletes to run better. Cultural factors also help some athletes do well at certain sports. Tegla Loroupe, a young woman from northern Kenya, has won several marathons. She says some of her success is due to her country's altitude (she trains at about 2 400 meters) and some to her cultural background. As a child, she had to run 10 kilometers to school every day. "I'd be punished if I was late," she says. E enhanced altitudes Cultural factors marathons 增强的 海拔高度 文化因素 马拉松 Kenya 肯尼亚 What makes an olympic champion? Although genes, environment, and even culture play a part in becoming an elite athlete, training and practice are needed to succeed. Marathon runners may be able to control fatigue and keep moving for long periods of time, but they must train to reach and maintain their goals. Weightlifters and gymnasts perfect their skills by repeating the same motions again and again until they become automatic. Greg Louganis, winner of four Olympic diving gold medals, says divers must train the same way to be successful: "You have less than three seconds from takeoff until you hit the water, so it has to be reflex. You have to repeat the dives hundreds, maybe thousands, of times." Training this way requires an athleteto be not only physically fit but psychologicallyhealthy as well.

Louganis explains how he learned to control his aniety during a competition: "Most divers think too much ... he says.“They're too much in their heads. What worked for me was humor. I remember thinking about what my mother would say if she saw me do a bad dive. She'd probably just compliment? me on the beautiful splash." adjust think about 调整 考虑，打算（做某事） If you compliment someone, you say something polite about their appearance or something they did. 01 Before Reading While Reading Post-reading 02 03 contents Reading Comprehension Reading Comprehension Reading Comprehension Reading Comprehension Reading Comprehension Reading Comprehension Both Marathon runners Gymnasts Gymnasts Both Marathon runners Reading Skill Reading Skill 180 cm Kenya, Ethiopia, Morocco oxygen Greg Louganis the Olympic Training Center in the United States Reading Skill Reading Skill Vocabulary Practice Vocabulary Practice Complete the information with the correct form of the words from the box.

The main challenge is the cost of expensive equipment such as parachutes and harnesses. The reward is the feeling of exhilaration, as though you're on top of the world!
