Class Acts
a quick Olympic post. Michael Phelps has amazed not only for what he has accomplished, but with how he has handled himself througout. Cool and classy in victory.
And Tyson Gay impressed me even more in defeat. No Handle Chad has blogged in the past about alibis and running. Gay had a built in alibi. The trackside reporter, Bob Neumeyer (sp?) even tried to hand it to him after Gay didn't make it out of the semi-finals. But Gay refused to accept it. No excuses. He tried his hardest and it wasn't good enough.
I find as much inspiration in that as I do in what Phelps accomplished.

Even though Gay said his hamstring wasn't a problem, NBC kept saying that it was.
add Shawn Johnson to your list of classy in victory, classy in defeat olympic heros.
and we can sadly add LoLo Jones. Damn was that heartbreaking.
