True Champions

If you are an ice skating fan, you probably already know that the World Championship is taking place in Sweden this week.

And you probably also know who Yuzuru Hanyu and Javier Fernández are.

In the last few years, whenever I see people competing in sports and in various areas in life, I usually remember these two very talented skaters.

Apart from their amazing accomplishments in skating in Japan, in Spain, in Europe and in the World, what makes them very special is the way they treated each other.

They showed us all how it is possible for a person to compete and aim to be the best in the World, but at the same time, how it is also possible for that same person to support another fellow to be the best that he can be.

One assumes otherwise, yet, they showed us over and over again that becoming the best version of one's self is possible while supporting the people around you to be the best that they can be. Even though they may be aiming at the same goal, the same title, the same medal. And that it is indeed the definition of a true champion.

May life always bring into our lives people who gives us the inspiration to do what is right.
