Paralympics
I love this picture from the gold medal sled hockey game between Russia and the USA.
USA won 1-0  Russia, however completely dominated all others at these games in the medal count. Well done, Russia.

Well done
 Russia is a country that lags far behind the West on accessibility and integration - so as a winning Paralympian rightly noted, sport is the best chance for Russians with disabilities to be recognized and accepted in Russian society, which is usually not kind to them. It's no wonder they're so driven in these games.
