A New Lease On Life

Lance Armstrong is probably one of the most inspirational athletes in the world today.

Not only did he succeed in overcoming a life-threatening disease,

but he went on to become one of the best cyclists the world has ever known.

Lance Armstrong was born in Plano, Texas on 18th September, 1971. Interested in sports from an early age, he got involved in biking, running and swimming. [39] After competing in the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992, he began to compete professionally. He won several titles in 1993 and became the World Champion in Oslo, Norway. Slowly, Armstrong was starting to make a name for himself. The highlight of his career was in 1995, when he became the number one cyclist internationally. [40]

Unfortunately, in 1996 Armstrong was diagnosed with cancer. After the disease spread to three areas of his body, the athlete's life was under serious threat. [41] He promptly started treatment and had to go through several painful operations. During his struggle, many people thought that he would never compete again. [42]

Miraculously, by 1997, Armstrong had made a full recovery. Having beaten the odds, he was determined to race professionally again. [43] He made his return to the world of cycling by participating in events around the US, and signed up with a professional team. In the years that followed, Lance Armstrong's achievements came one after the other. His most noted accomplishment was winning the Tour de France, which is probably the world's most celebrated bicycle race, every year from 1999 to 2005. He was the first cyclist in history to win the prestigious event seven consecutive times. Since then, Armstrong has won countless awards, and become a worldwide celebrity. [44] Through the Lance Armstrong Foundation, he has been helping and inspiring victims of the disease that had once threatened his life cope with the difficulties they have in their fight against the disease.

A And that's exactly what he did.

B His fame has helped him in his campaign to help others.

C Yet disaster struck a year later.

D He agreed with everything they had to say.

E But it wasn't until his teens that he realised he wanted a career as a cyclist.
