I have been watching the Winter Olympics. I particularly enjoy the skiing and boarding events. The skill and perseverance of the athletes is astonishing.
Downhill racers are especially dedicated,
if not reckless. Almost all of them have
sustained and overcome serious injuries in pursuit of a gold medal.
Winners need to walk through
the proverbial fire to reach the victor’s podium.
I got to thinking about other events. You can bet the curling team lead player is
dedicated if they have broken seven bones and torn three ligaments in previous
curling matches.
