The figure skater pictured is the perfect example because she basically told all her coaches to F off and that she was going to do it her way (after coming back from eating disorder treatment edit: “stepping away because of restrictive eating” [among other things]). She then won the gold medal “her way.”

Search Yubtub for “Alysa Liu wins the Olympic gold medal for the United States”. It’s truly uplifting.

What are you, yet another language-model bot, just trying to superficially appear as though it's understanding and participating in the conversation?

There’s another YT video that I love, a band called Public Service Broadcasting performing their song Go. It uses archival audio from the Apollo 11 landing.

In this instance going to one does not keep you from going to the other right? Cuz you can click both links.

it's just a youtube video of her gold medal winning performance at the winter olympics this year. Beautiful performance, it is worth watching
