I've competed professionally for my country in a sport. I got to represent in 2 international competitions before being cut. I trained in this sport for 7 years before this opportunity came to me, and I wasn't anywhere close to the level of the guys going to the Olympics.
This get-to-the-Olympics-in-4-years-scheme is simultaneously so insulting, moronic and keyboard jockey-ish that it deserves some kind of new troll label.
Haha, yeah.
The conversation comes up frequently in fighting.
"I'm 28. Never trained. Could I be a UFC champ?"
People greatly overestimate their abilities.
People are also ignorant.
Thus threads like this are born!
