Mark was also a very talented sprinter who was also a future medal prospect. He was tall and handsome, he was the ladies man. His coach would always tell him that he would become the greatest athlete of all time and this was true because he was the fastest in the country. Mark was over confident in his talent that he barely trained. He just needed to be in good shape and he would definitely win the race. Sprinting came naturally to him.

The athletic federation had sent a letter across to all the invited athletes and they were told that only one junior athlete would be taken to the Olympics. Davis trained hard believing he can make to the World's greatest sports event. Mark was more relaxed thinking " oh well I am the best " .
They got to camp and were all in high spirits. Mark came to meet Davis, and he said " Davis let's go have a drink".
