VILNIUS, Lithuania: When Virgilijus Alekna is not acting as a bodyguard to Lithuania's former president, he is training to win a third Olympic discus title in Beijing.
"In Lithuania, most people expect me to win a third gold medal and it would be wrong to say I am going there only to take part. I am going after the highest award," he said.
