The Workout
‘You look down your lane and know you’ve done everything you possibly can and you’re prepared for this race. Someone has got to win it. Why not me?’- Duncan Armstrong after beating Matt Biondi and winning the gold medal in the 2 FR at the 1988 Olympics. He was ranked 46th in the world going into the games.
