1:35 or so press release. Short and sweet. I might have preferred some more eloquence in wording and some stronger rebuttles, but I can't imagine it was easy to say that. And given the nature of his status and the platform he had, stronger may not have worked. From personal experience, it's a lot easier to simply *do* and *live* instead of trying to put words behind life and action.

He's a hero to us all, really.

I didn't put it into the other thread, since I thought the topic might catch the interest of people who ignore the olympics.

Good for him.  I hope some will take a different view of people.
