Breakfast for champions: What do the Olympians eat

Heavy workouts and incredible discipline - these are the prerequisites for every athlete who dreams of fulfilling his Olympic dream. But in addition to physical and mental stress, athletes are also required to have a strict diet.

During the preparation for the Olympic Games, the athlete spends much more energy than at the races themselves. High-quality preparatory training sessions take a huge amount of calories that need to be restored with the right nutrients. However, training is most important to muscle strength and technique, which gives the athlete an advantage over his competitors.
