Tokyo Paralympics 2020 is full to bursting with class act high performance athletes and all around magnificent human beings.
Team GB 🇬🇧 won the gold 🥇 medal match vs. the USA 🇺🇸 in wheelchair rugby, bringing home the first ever European Paralympic medal (and gold to boot) in the sport of wheelchair rugby. The match was neck and neck, evenly played by exceptional talent and heart and guile, until team GB ran home with it in the final 4 minutes of the 4th quarter.
And despite the fact that I am devastated as a USA Paralympic Rugby fan, all my respect and admiration go out to team GB, who gave a round of applause to the US team across the half court line, which was returned in kind, and to their captain Roberts.
In their victory huddle, before they cheered their team's hard fought win, #9️⃣ Jim Roberts said:
"On three, U-S-A. 1, 2, 3, USA!"
I'm not crying, you're crying.
