"An egoist, well, an elite athlete is one to a certain extent. Definitely. He must be dominant, because that is connected with self-confidence. An elite athlete must believe that he deserves victory more than anyone else and that at the last moment he will do everything to humiliate his opponents and prove that he is a class above." Matej Tušak on whether elite athletes are truly egotistical.
