I freely admit that I am a sports junkie and want nothing to do with any intervention or rehabilitation. Being Canadian, I lean towards hockey and lacrosse but I really enjoy watching, or participation in, almost any athletic competition. The only problem I have is the events they have introduced over the yeas at the Olympics. What ever happened to Higher, Faster(swifter), Stronger? I don't mean to say that some of these events don't require a lot of skill and endurance, but at the rate they are going it won't be long before darts and poker will be Olympic competitions.
That being said, I found it really difficult to pick out my favourite moments so far. Phelps has been just incredible and Bolt has easily shattered records. If I have to pick one that combines dedication, perseverance and redemption, I look at Eric Lamaze. For me, he is the feel good story of this years Olympics and a testament to "Never Give Up"!
