'I’m happy, sure. But I’m not satisfied.'
If you're a fan of male artistic gymnastics, you've most likely seen Canadian gymnast Felix Dolci. Felix's quote about comes after earning two gold medals, a silver and two bronzes at the Pan American Games. His goal however, was to medal in all five events, plus the all-around and the team event. Although he did extremely well, he thinks it's important to admit he didn't meet his goal.
I think that's a common sentiment many athletes feel. No matter how well they do, they often strive to do better, maybe even better than possible. For some, that keeps the fight alive, and helps them not get complacent, especially in the middle of a competition. I'm sure this helped the 23 year old when he competed at last summer's Paris Olympics. Although Dolci helped Canada qualify to the team final and individually he qualified to the all-around final, he struggled on the pommel horse and Canada ended up with an eighth place finish
Till, the Quebec born Dolci has won over 200 medals and awards, in sports and other fields. His talent and good looks have certainly also won him attention, from both fans, and promoters, who have hired to him for modeling and advertising campaigns.
