Jennifer Jones' team won the World Curling Championship yesterday. It was a great game to watch, with an end that pleases Canadians.
If you have stood at the top of the podium, you will know about tears. If you have led or coached a team or athletes who have stood there, you will know about tears.
If you have not done any of these things, don't make any assumptions about tears. Although public, they are priviate, and unique. For every person whose tears well up, the reasons are private and are often never spoken.
Be happy for athletes at the top of the podium. Help them savour the moment, and the moments that follow. They never want it to end.
"It was great," said second Jill Officer, 32. "Loud and proud, baby. It was awesome and when the beat really picks up at the end there, I just totally had chills all the way down my body."
Wonderful!
