Olympic Athletes are the fruits of our labour. They are what things like money and cars are for.

I'd say JS Bach was one of the fruits of our labor, so were Newton, Einstein and van Gogh.

Olympic Athletes are a combination of luck in the genetics department and a lot of effort, but ultimately do not seem to be sufficient to help the athletes themselves.
