21. There are moments in any sport where the athlete takes a step back and wonders, "Why the hell am I doing this to myself?" Sure, at the time a tedious exercise seems insignificant, even unimportant. But for some reason, the athlete picks up their head and continues on. Why? Because they want to achieve something so much greater than themselves. They want to prove that they are willing to achieve greatness, one drop of sweat at a time.

WINDSOR, England — “You can do it,” screamed the announcer. Some in the packed grandstands were on their feet, roaring him to the line.

After hearing the finishing horn, he slumped over in his boat, totally spent. After a few seconds, he lifted his head and saluted the crowd, a grin as wide as wide as all Dorney Lake.

No, this wasn’t a British rower in a race for Olympic gold in front of his home fans. This was Hamadou Djibo Issaka, crawling to the finish in last place in a single sculls repechage.

Djibo Issaka is 35 years old and from Niger in West Africa. He learned how to row only three months ago and has a technique that can generously be described as crude.

Full story here.
