#dailymission What has been your favorite Olympic moment, past or present?
(I'm a sucker for the stories and the celebrations)4 people liked what Karlee shared-
Dominican hurdler Felix Sanchez, the champion at the 2004 Athens Olympics, found out on the day of his heat in Beijing that his grandmother had passed away. He failed to even qualify.
In London, the 34-year-old ran with her picture attached to the back of his bib. When he won (with the exact same time he won with eight years earlier), he took the picture out, laid it on the track and kissed it. -
Karlee,that is a touching story. Thank you, we too often lose sight of those we love.
