Nathalie Marchino
In addition to being an Olympic rugby player, Marchino, 35, also works in sales at the tech giant Twitter, according to ESPN.
\"Juggling work and rugby has been part of my reality for so long that I've just accepted that it is that way,\" Marchino told ESPN. \"However, going to the Games would make it all worth it.\"
Marchino will compete for Colombia, the country where she was born and where her mother is from. She is taking a five-month leave of absence from Twitter in order to compete in Rio, and manage her work-Olympics balance, she told ESPN.

He told the shot-putting website Throwholics that he works at Emerson Electric as a sales support engineer, in addition to being an Olympic thrower.

Kazuki Yazawa
Yazawa, 27, has developed the kind of mental toughness necessary for the fierce competition of an Olympic athlete. The Japanese slalom canoeist with a shaved head also moonlights as a novice Buddhist priest at the Zenkoji Daikanjin Temple in Nagano, Japan, according to The Japan Times.
Jeremy Taiwo
Taiwo, 26, an American decathlete, is one of the Team USA athletes who works at Dick's Sporting Goods, helping shoppers pick out shoes and gear.
Dick's has a program specifically tailored towards Olympic hopefuls, offering flexibility and support for athletes training for the Games, the retailer announced in a statement last year.
