What do you do once you've won Olympic gold? If you're Michael Phelps, you party and count your endorsement money. If you're McKayla Maroney, you go on Letterman. If you're the Dream Team, you party, then return to the NBA. If you're the goalie of the U.S. Women's Water Polo team, you go back to your day job: lifeguard at Newport Beach. That's the kind of thing most Olympic athletes have to look forward to: You get the adulation and worldwide attention, then go home to a far-from-lucrative reality. But you'll always be a champion.
