The two week celebration has finished.
I joke about USA, USA, but it’s just in jest. Every athlete wants their gold. Every country wants their medals. An opportunity to meet and compete. A celebration of diversity and comradery; sportsmanship abounds. We celebrate all the winners and all the participants.
We find ourselves as happy about a Brazilian gold medal in soccer, a Kenyan gold in the marathon, or a US gold in swimming, gymnastics or track; all heroic efforts. We’re happy for every athlete or team that won, appreciate every athlete and team that joined in the competition, and wish that the Olympic spirit of competition and cooperation could carry on, or carry over beyond sports, just a little more than it does.
