And one thing they are not in short supply of at the Olympic Training Center? Beef!

Just think how many steaks you could grill on those fiery Olympic rings!!!!!

Turns out, steak is a go-to food of Olympians who need the protein to fuel their amazing feats.

Here’s what one Olympian had to say after a day of vigorous activity at an elite level:   “I definitely need the rest tomorrow, so, big steak and feet up, and ready for Thursday.”

Sounds like a good plan to me. I will be doing the same thing myself . . . just to get ready for MY Thursday!
