 | As the competition continued, honor would be given to those who rose amongst their peers to claim recognition as the best in their respective classes, an achievement well earned though the rigors of persistent and dedicated training. But just as easily as one milestone is attained, the possibility of yet another soon presents itself. In a sport and culture which encourages one to be their very best, one starts to wonder what the pinnacle of their capabilities truly are. And so they elevate their focus and look forward, where the ambition tends to be grander towards that final curtain call with a firm grasp of that precious overall glory. |
