Good Sportsmanship

As I have been watching the Olympics the last couple weeks I have been amazed and impressed with the quality of not only the articulate ability of all of the athletes that are interviewed, but even more so, the attitude and the sportsmanship of those that lose or are eliminated. WOW! These athletes lose with grace and character. It makes me respect them, especially given the opportunity they have: competition on the world stage/arena that comes only every 4 years. You can't console yourself with "We'll get it next game", or even "Next year we'll come back and beat 'em", or anything close to this. It is truly unlike any other athletic event, yet the composure and assessment of what happened when they fell short is truly admirable. Thank you for representing the Olympic spirit well and the US even better.
