yes, another inspiring olympics story! will they ever go away?? lol

so, Canada's 4x100m relay team were denied a bronze medal after one of the runners stepped out of his lane.

a little boy from New Foundland was very upset by this and so wrote to the team expressing how he thought the rules were wrong and what a pround and enduring nation Canada was. He enclosed a medal he won at a football tournament for them to have instead.

he even wrote at the end 'i i become a biologist, or rich and if i remember, i will donate money to the Summer and Winter Canada olympics.

how sweet is that?? makes your heart go all mushy

I don't think it was cheating. It's bloody hard to pass the baton in a relay, and the GB mens 4 x 100 team was disqualified for the same thing. I felt bad for them.

I think the Canadians accepted their disqualification, but it doesn't mean they did it on purpose.

3 others teams managed not to go out of their lane.

Shit happens, things suck but the rules are rules.

The Canadians accepted the disqualification, in the face of their disappointment after years of training, in the spirit of sportsmanship...

They made a genuine mistake and well done to a 10 year old with the compassion of maturity...;-)

Well done to the boy. How many of our youth today would do such a thing.
