Ain't nothing to it but to do it

Sometimes in sport, and in life, you have one of those days where everything goes beyond your wildest dreams.

To get to this point, hard work, hours of practice and full time dedication is required but when it all clicks and it comes together there is no better feeling.
 
Denmark’s Jonas Hogh-Christensen put a robust campaign together for London 2012, with clearly defined processes and goals. Days before the competition started the great Dane had hit each target and minutes before the first race his coach, Kristian Kjaergaard said, “ain’t nothing to it, but to do it.” 
 
“That sort of became the motto of our campaign,” explained Hogh-Christensen, “because it was just go out and do what we had practiced.
 
“We had a long checklist going into the Games of things we had to achieve and reach and two days before the Olympics, we looked at the list and it was all green knocks. And therefore I felt as prepared as I could.
 
“There was nothing I could really do to be more prepared so it was just to go out and do whatever we had practised and worked on and that started out really well. And almost got to the gold.”
