The Koreans, A Russian and the Code

The Olympics are intended to represent the highest and best of sports, and each time they provide a number of wonderful stories.  This year, in the midst of international tensions, the North and South Koreans marched into together and competed on the same team.  Also, there was the tremendous story of the Russian luger who prior to the Olympics had offered his sled to American Chris Mazdzer because he knew Mazdzer was in a slump and wanted to help him.  Mazdzer won Silver using his own sled, but said, “It’s such a unique bond on the luge circuit.  I don’t know how to relate it,” he said, “but we all look out for each other.  We all want the best for each other. …I think that what it shows is that we care about each other.  There is a human connection that we have, that crosses countries, that crosses cultures, and sport is an amazing way to accomplish that.”  Invite the members of your team to share the stories that have been the most meaningful to them, and why!
