The time comes
Everything goes quiet
'On your marks, get set, GO!'
It all starts with a dive
Time to give it my all
I feel the crowd's energy
I'm in the zone
Faster and faster I go
No breaks
This is what I train for
The sweet taste of victory keeps me going
I get closer
And closer
I give myself the final push
I touch the wall
I've done it!
