on winter champions

Their eyes wide with wonder, their hearts set to boil, the best of us humans invade Russian soil. To Sochi they wander, to that sunny place, where they shall contend and break records and race. To heights they aspire, to summits they reach, surrounded by coaches and well-wishers each. The only true winners, are they who compete, who sacrifice childhood and friendship and love, who stand up and go forth and perform great feats, who lace up the footwear and helmet and glove. They're maniacs, winners, and champions all, we watch them white-knuckled, excited, enthralled, we cheer and clap for them as much as we can, they are our magnificent Olympians.
