Sniffle

So I've been recording most of the Olympics on Tivo and watching them the next day lately. So I watched Misty May and Kerri Walsh win the Gold and then I was watching the very end and they were showing who won the...um, weightlifting? medal, I'm not sure what it's called. And they guy that won is from Germany and he lifts it up, holds it with a huge smile on his face and then lets it drop and just collapses in sobs because he knows he won the Gold. I'm getting a little teary at this point, but wait, there's more. At the medal ceremony he holds up, with his Gold, a picture of his wife who died last year in a car accident. She had started a savings account so she could join him in Beijing. And that made me cry. So I thought I'd share.
