This summer was their last together before they all moved to separate parts of the nation.

The Silent Warriors:
In the hushed silence of an Olympic arena, two rings dangle from the ceiling, swaying gently as they await the next athlete to test their mettle.

They are the proving ground for those who dare to defy gravity and push the limits of the human body, an arena where history is written with every grip, swing, and hold.
