Hi Angelica! As always thank you for another eminently entertaining, refreshing, and insightful post. Previously I'd heard the point about bronze medalist being happier than silver, but never knew there was scientific study to substantiate the claim and its debilitating effects. Your posts consistently enrich and provide added value to whatever subject you write on.
I'm with you--I wasn't particularly excited about these Olympics. But in retrospect, I felt they provided a much needed boost to our "shared humanity" perspective that has been under great stress. Thank you for promoting that message and highlighting several heart warming incidents I wasn't aware of.
Public opinion is fiendishly fickle. Let's hope the Japanese public comes to appreciate the difficult position their government was in and respect the choice that was made to go forward under less than ideal conditions. They certainly put on a great show and appeared to be excellent hosts.
I enjoyed your column. In general, I have no use for for sports , but your positive interpretations are spot on. Thank you.
