There’s something about the that always tugs on your heart strings!
As we learn the stories of the athletes moving into the competition finals, we want to share the story of sailing legend Santiago Lange (). Santiago was on a roll winning medals in the Olympics when he was diagnosed with lung cancer mere months before the 2016 Rio games. He underwent surgery, kept training, and went on to win gold with his crew mate. This determination certainly paid off for Lange.
Lange said that the nine months leading up to the Olympics was the most demanding of his career, emphasizing the importance of overcoming adversity. This is such a powerful reminder to persevere, and to keep doing what you love, even when the road ahead is uncertain.
