So there's no boxing at the Winter Olympics, but this powerful film anthem conveys the spirit of every athlete, Olympians and Plain Joe. When we watch Rocky Balboa complete his run through the streets of Philadephia, we cheer him and value his drive and determination to train to try to beat Apollo Creed in the ring. Yes, Rocky loses, but he wins because he goes the distance and gives Creed a hell of a fight. Rocky learns that he is not a loser but a winner.
Regardless of the USA medal count over the next two weeks, all of our Olympians deserve this recognition. Most of them will never get rich from endorsements or win medals. They just compete for the love of their sports or because they thrive on training and pushing themselves to do their best.
Go USA!
