Watch this video. Especially the interview at the end.

Watched it twice. If you dont have a wide grin or a tear in your eye at the end, there is no hope for you! :)

Brilliant stuff wasn't it. I knew what that was going to be before I opened the link and yes it did bring a tear to my eye ; 13 years old and a Gold medal , amazing stuff and it epitomises what the Olympics/ Sport should be about.

Fabulous. Hadn't seen it before this link. After a really bad day, I am back in the real world and humbled by watching that. I am happy to admit I both smiled and cried. And by the way. Red, White and Blue nail polish. Now that's patriotism at its best.
