Some Inspirational Stories From The 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics

Watching the best-of-the-best compete for gold at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics is inspirational.

But beyond the performance of the athletes, there have already been many other inspirational moments at these Olympics.

Russian cross-country skier Anton Gafarov fell and broke his ski during the Men’s Sprint Free Semifinals.

In true Olympic spirit he tried to keep going, knowing that although he no longer had any chance of winning, he needed to finish the race he had started.

However, his ski was broken in half.

He would end up limping across the finish line in front of the world, not to mention his fellow Russians who were cheering from the sidelines.
