Following the Creed

We fight, we show up and we do it knowing we will never beat a world record, but we also learn that it is not about how well we do compared to our neighbor. We know that the training and the struggle is about one person only, one singular goal: to do our best so we can take part. And it doesn't matter if our best now is better or worse than it was a year ago. What matters is if it was the best we could do today.

And if that's not the living embodiment of the Olympic Creed, I don't know what is.
