Keeping it positive

I stumbled upon the story of Olympic speed skater Dan Jansen. In 1988, shortly after his sister Jane's death, he fell during the races in which he competed. Six years later, in his final Olympic race, he finally got a gold medal. I'll never forget the picture of him on the medal stand, holding his baby daughter Jane.
With all that's wrong in sports today, it's great to remember such a positive, heartwarming story.
