Well, it would be pretty hard to design a shoe for a professional athlete, but I guess if you had a design that a shoe company liked, and you knew an athlete, you might be able to get that athlete to send it to a brand and they could say:A shoe from _____(shoe company) for ______(your athlete) designed by ______(your name).But if you didn't know an athlete, you would probably have to send the design to the shoe company then they would send it to the athlete.

A country must have formed a National Olympic Committee (NOC) and had that Committee approved by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) before they are allowed to send athletes to an Olympic Games. An NOC is in charge of developing and selecting athletes to compete for the country at the Olympics as well as training coaches and administrators in Olympic rules and regulations. Currently, Gibraltar has applied to the IOC for recognition of its NOC but has not yet been approved. When approval comes, Gibraltar will be allowed to send athletes to compete in the Olympics under the flag of Gibraltar. There has been at least one Gibraltar born athlete to compete in the Olympics. Peter Dignan, born in the city of Gibraltar, competed for New Zealand in men's coxed eights rowing at the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal and won a bronze medal.
