not about the medals
it's very sad that our society is fixated on the medal tallies - the golden boys and girls make headlines while those that fail to deliver are not relegated space at all in the papers.
don't we appreciate their stories, their efforts, their journeys?
i'm sure that all of them walked away from the meet with new perspectives regardless of whether they "met expectations" or not.
each athlete's journey is unique and special, and should be treated with utmost respect. it is quite disgusting (though i am guilty of this) to judge the athletes' work based on their performance. it could have been a bad day, or the stress could have gotten to them or competitors' standards are higher.
i salute all athletes for their hard work, dedication and passion for sport.
