Amazingness everywhere
Mark Sappenfield
I鈥檝e been watching the Olympics here in Germany. Given America鈥檚 medal dominance, I thought German television would show a fair bit of Team USA. The reality? Only if your name is Simone Biles.
That鈥檚 a shame. There are so many good stories and athletes. But then I realized it goes the other way, too. Americans surely have not cried with Ricarda Funk, the German kayaking favorite whose catastrophic mistake left her in tears. Or seen the silky skills of basketball star Dennis Schr枚der.聽
It鈥檚 a lesson I learned covering the Olympics. The greatest joy comes from a willingness to see amazingness everywhere.聽 聽聽
