So near yet so far: The fine lines on the road to Rio

The Olympic Games is just weeks from kicking off. There has been so many negative stories leading into this Olympics but one thing has remained the same as every other Olympics: a place on any Olympic team in track and field is something to be cherished.

All around the world, there are the athletes that made their national teams and the athletes that did not.

For every athlete that is happily sharing their team selection on social media, there are 10 others dealing with the realisation that their Olympic dream is over. My twitter and instagram feeds are flooded with pictures of athletes picking up their gear as they ready themselves for Rio.
