I was 12 during this time. I cried and cried when I saw this. This in my opinion is one of the Greatest moment in all of sports.

It absolutely broke my heart at the 1:19 part: All that pain and the realization of something you've worked so hard to achieve is gone must've been incredibly hard to face.

And I'll repeat it again: A champion is someone who gets up, even when he can't.

[AIC4life47]

He might have not of won the Gold medal, but his ( and his fathers ) actions have given countless people hope, and determination to NEVER give up. That itself has more meaning than any Gold medal could acheive.
