I am responsible for setting my own standard and not comparing myself to the standard of someone else. Each day is a new opportunity to be a better person than I was yesterday and to stay committed and obsessed with my craft. I am defined by my habits and I strive to make those habits lead down the path to success. I may not see results immediately but if I keep dropping pennies in the bank it will pay off. #IAMNOBULL @nobullproject

Dressage rider Hiroshi Hoketsu, Japan's oldest Olympian - and who is bidding for another Games appearance - questions the wisdom of officials' recent commitments to Tokyo 2020.

Keep the Flame Alive speaks with Israeli skeleton racer Adam Edelman on his Olympic breakthrough.

Unfortunately, for me, the lasting image of Trayvon Bromell is his awkward lunge at the end of the Rio 2016 4x100 meter relay on the track. As he tells World Athletics, he's readying his comeback.

Congrats to Anna van der Braggen, winner of a rare double at the UCI Road World Championships in Imola, Italy this past weekend. And to men's winner Julian Alaphilippe, redeeming himself after a tough Tour de France.

Sydney 2000 Olympians reminisce in a special series of Australian Taekwondo Talk.
