And so it’s over for another four years ．We are lucky: from the English Premier League to Wimbledon and the football World Cup, we have enough sport to entertain us all year round until 2012.

But what about the Olympic athletes once the Games finish? Of course , the famous such as Michael Phelps and Liu Xiang haven’t finished competing yet , and can live off their fame until the London Games．Yao Ming had a disappointing time in Beijing , but at least he can carry on playing basketball and earning money and glory with the Houston Rockets．The professional sportsmen and women who compete in the Olympics such as footballers or tennis players go back to their day jobs, earning millions．

Not all former Olympic athletes are so lucky．Some nations have started to reward successful Olympians with cash, but retired athletes still have to go on and find something else to do once the Games are over．What do they do to earn a living , or to satisfy their competitive nature?

A billion people around the globe watch the Olympics and athletes and land a job by simply having a recognizable face．Acting is one employment opportunity．

It is disappointing to see healthy athletes promoting the unhealthiest of food and drink．One other career move for Olympians is to go into politics．Actors have done it, so why not athletes? Politicians certainly love successful sportspeople．But as British cyclist Chris Hoy has shown, Olympic gold medalists don’t always love being used by politicians , who try to steal some of their fame and glory．
