Yes some they work hard some not soo. We have fun of some of our athletes that they are just turist. Just train enough to be there and to have good salary from country and other special stuff when they retire becouse they were profesional athletes. But our country in athletics is not too good, we have here and there some talent in some disciplines but that's it.
