大威跟小威分列一二名:p 看到標題就知道只說奧運參賽選手了 The 11 greatest bodies on earth By Shaun Dreisbach Meet the Olympic superstars we'll all be obsessed with this month. Venus Williams, 28 http://tinyurl.com/56hmu2 Venus Williams made history when she won her fourth Wimbledon last July: She became the first woman in the 123-year-old event to earn the same prize money as the guys. (The year before, the pay gap was nearly $60,000). Williams, who had been seeded twenty-third in the tournament, was thrilled. "It wasn't about the money," she says. "It was just about being treated as equals." Heading into Beijing, she's playing as strong as ever--last year she set a new record with a 128.8 mph serve. "I'm glad I never had to play Venus," tennis legend Martina Navratilova once said. "She's just too long, too fast." Venus Williams去年七月拿下第四座溫網時創下了記錄他成為第一位賽會男女獎金平等的冠軍當時他僅被列為23種子他說"這並非錢的問題而是男女是不是被平等對待" 面對北京奧運他也發起了強大的挑戰去年他發出了破記錄的128.8MPH的時速 Navratilova說"真幸運我不用跟Venus對打他實在太高速度太快了" Serena Williams, 26 http://tinyurl.com/5ukqcl She's won eight Grand Slam titles and an Olympic gold, but Serena Williams believes she hasn't "accomplished all that much" in tennis. "I feel like I'm just getting started," she says. After an injury forced her to pull out of the 2004 Olympics, she publicly vowed not to miss Beijing. But by 2006 her ranking had plummeted due to injuries. Still, Williams never gave up. Now she's ranked fifth and headed to Beijing. "What defines a person's character is not how you are when you're on top. It's how you are when you're on the bottom and working your way back," she says. Besides, she adds, "I love proving people wrong." 他已經贏了八個大滿貫也拿過一面奧運金牌但Serena認為他在網球上的成就還不夠他認為"自己才正開始呢" 因傷退出2004奧運後他公開宣稱不會再錯過北京 2006時他因傷排名下滑但他並沒有放棄現在他排名第五且正準備進軍北京 "定義一個人的標準並非你在高峰時表現如何而是你在低潮時如何奮鬥振作" 他補了一句"我喜歡證明別人是錯的" -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.139.135.74
