Crying on the Medal Stand

Cesar Cielo made it about halfway through the Brazilian National Anthem today before he started crying. If that were you up there receiving a GOLD Medal and having your flag raised and your country's national anthem played, do you think you would also get emotional?

    I'd probably cry if I won the gold, but it would not be a blubbery cry; instead, my face would remain expressionless as a single glory-tear runs down my cheek. The Getty image would show the Flag reflecting in said tear. Two man-cries of which I am unashamed: 1. Hoosiers 2. Each year during the Hawaii Iron Man TV coverage: *** and Rick Hoyt. Those guys get me every time.
