It's Olympics season - every 2 years we are treated to the best athletes in the world laying their hearts, souls and bodies on the line, all in order to achieve the title of "Olympic Champion" and reach the Pantheon of sport.
I don't know about you guys, but one of the only things that gets me a little emotional is watching Olympic medal ceremonies. During that culminating moment, a lifetime of tireless work, sacrifice, pain, blood, effort is embodied in one moment where the world collectively hangs a medal around their neck and says "you are, without question, the best in the world at what you do." To me, there is nothing like it, and nothing more inspiring (perhaps with exception of the recent INSIDERS call we had
).
Anyone else feel the same way? Any Olympic stories to share? (for instance, a 2-time Olympian is a frequent guest at my neighborhood bar - every time I see him/talk to him I'm awestruck that I'm talking to someone that was the best in world at what he did - twice).
