If you want to know what sport is…
What a weekend of action! I love the Winter Olympics but there have been quite a few articles questioning whether @lindseyvonn should have been competing in Italy at the age of 41 with an injured ACL.
I think her attitude is the very essence of sport.
It wasn’t just about chasing glory… it was about defiance.
This is what sport looks like when you strip away the polish. It’s not comfortable… it’s painful.
Risk instead of safety.
Vonn knew she might not win.
She knew it might hurt.
She understood the risk.
She embraced it because not going down that mountain would mean surrendering to the things that stop you getting out of bed in the morning.
Great sporting moments don’t always finish on a podium.
They are acts of courage.
They are athletes standing on the start line, knowing it could be the last time, knowing it might go wrong… and launching themselves anyway.
That is the essence of sport.
Not the medal.
The moment before the gate opens and there is a chance that dream might become reality.
I hope her body heals quickly and she knows she will always be a winner 🏆
