While sports haven’t exactly been a major passion of mine [although up to a few years ago some could say that I was a lot more athletic than now O.o] the games have been about far more than athleticism.

And if that sense of patriotism isn’t enough to provoke inspiration…maybe the determination and fortitude of the athletes is!

Imagine priming yourself for years upon end, putting in all those long hours and hard work…for it to ultimately pay off….for your efforts to be recognized. Must be both an overwhelming and rewarding feeling…

…one that I’m sure we all strive for.
