The heartening side of the Olympics

I'm not the kind of person who watches sport on TV. Rather than watch sport, I believe you should do it. Not to a professional level - just move.

I've not seen any of the Olympic events on TV at all, but I do scan the newspaper headlines and occasionally read an article or two.

I particularly like the photo of the two athletes who shared gold. A first. The article gives me hope that there are some thoughtful people coming up in the world.
