Celebrate Humanity
This video clip from YouTube shows us the true spirit of the Olympics. It shows us an athlete who persisted in finishing the race even though he was hurt. It shows us a relay team that celebrated winning the bronze medal as though they had won the gold medal! It shows us that you do not have to be tall and big to achieve.
These athletes show us that the Olympics is more than just about sports. The Olympics is about friendship, respect and excellence.
