Did anything ever define an "Olympic Moment" more than the Gold Medal victory of seventeen year old Seward, Alaska native Lydia Jacoby in the 100 Meter Breast Stroke event last night? She lives in a city of fewer than 4,000 residents, in a state with one (1!) Olympic sized swimming pool, and no Alasakan has ever won a medal for the USA in the Summer Games. And the cherry was put atop this delightful swimming sundae when you watched her Seward High School classmates watching and celebrating in real time.
No screenwriter would write a script like this. It was yet another moment that tells you that THIS is why you follow sports.
