"The outstanding performances achieved by elite athletes at the 2008 Olympic Games will be the result of a combination of many factors"

Discuss this statement with reference to the many techniques athletes use to attain their optimum performance.

I'd probably write about the psychological stuff e.g optimum arousal, ways to control anxiety like concentration/attentional skills, mental rehearsal, relaxation, goal setting and visualisation. maybe even put in nutritional considerations. but id definitely talk about the ways to control anxiety and arousal and stress

ok thanks for that.. but it still confuses me coz we havent discuss anxiety etc..

Going throught the syllabus you can see there are a number of points which relate to this question.
As the other person said talk about the psychological stuff, but also inlcude training and nutrition.
Look at pages 56-58 in the syllabus.
Depending on how many marks the question is worth will depend on how detailed you will have to be.
It might be good to make the question more specific by giving an example. eg a road cyclist. Then you will be able to provide specific training, psychological and nutritional needs of the athlete.
Good luck
