Let's also celebrate the many unknown athletes, who worked very hard and never get into the spotlight... Those are my heroes.

Yeah, like me with my Big Bird-looking golf swing! Seriously, last night the list of countries without any medals at all is a long one, but their athletes also work very hard.

Yes, we need to realize what a great athlete and competitor each athletes is, win or lose. They are on the top of their games.

with the armstrong scandal coming out i hope we dont find out he was doping

Meh - even if he was, I'll always consider him the greatest cyclist that ever lived; drugs or oxygenation can boost performance, but not to the degree needed to win that many Tours. Throw in some cancer-beating achievements, and he's gold in my books.
