Who Finished First?
by Richard Fenton & Andrea Waltz
Let's start with who didn't finish first in the cross-country sprint finals in Sochi on Tuesday, February 11: It wasn't Russian skier Anton Gafarov.
Gafarov crashed. Gafarov wiped-out. But that's not the important part. The
important past is that he finished at all. When Gafarov went down, more than his spirit took a beating. So did one of his skis. It was broken. Snapped. Shattered much like Gafarov's
dreams.
Gafarov stood up. And he started to ski. Well, not ski really since he could barely move forward more than a few feet without falling.
That's when Canadian cross-country coach Justin Wadsworth decided to do something seldom seen in the world today. Wadsworth decided
to remind us what the Olympics - and sports, in general - is all about. Wadsworth decided to help. He grabbed an extra ski and raced down the hill to where Gafarov lay and offered the ski. Did more than offer, actually. He helped him put it on. Neither man spoke. After all, what
would be the point? One man spoke only Russian, the other only English. But neither had to. They both spoke the most important languages of all. The language of sport. And they both spoke fluent courage.
Gafarov knew he could not win. The race was already over. But he did not care. It was about finishing. And he did, a full 2-minutes behind the leader, whose name is... well, does it matter? Not really. Because when the final pages of the story of the 2014 Games in Sochi,
Russia, are written, it will be the names Anton Gafarov and Justin Wadsworth we will remember most. And for years to come the winner will show off his medal to others, but it will be Anton Gafarov and Justin Wadsworth who showed their hearts to the world.

| This Month's Trivia Answer |
IBM was founded on February 14, 1924 by Thomas J. Watson. Watson was well known for his position on failure being positive. In addition to many famous quotes he also said, "Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience?" |
