Honorary Gold Medal

As I was watching the Olympics tonight, I became very impressed with one of the male gymnasts. It was during the men's vault final that I found a great respect for Samuel Mikulak. He had a couple awesome vaults, sticking the landings and scoring high.

But, so did many of the others and there were quite a few to compete after him. As these other men came to the vault, their scores began to pass his and push him out of medal contention. However, the amazing thing was that he didn't change his attitude. This smile he had after finishing stayed the entire night.

He sat, cheering every other person to compete in the event. It was amazing. The announcer said "He took 5th but gets a gold medal in sportsmanship and attitude."
