Platform diver posing on white cube, studio shot, side view

MIAMI, FLORIDA - JUNE 1996: Platform diver, Russ Bertram, poses in June of 1996 in a diving position on a rooftop in Miami, Florida. The olympians of ancient greece trained not only to compete but to attain physical abilities that rivaled those of the common man - with the feats achieved during the present day olympics its fair to say little has changed. These athletes train their bodies to machine-like capabilities in order to beat the competition by sometimes only a hundredth of a second. Some have done it with severe heat stroke or even a broken leg.
