So what can the rest of us learn from them in our maybe lower stakes, personal gold medal events?

How do we shift our focus, reframe our thinking so that we can do better under pressure?

All right, awesome.

This is something I know I'm going to be thinking about as I watch the rest of the games.

And fingers crossed that those athletes can keep their mind on the big picture.

That's the trade agreement between the US, Canada and Mexico that Trump negotiated in his first term to replace the previous agreement known as NAFTA. So most cars made in North America meet these requirements, but not all of them.
