When people are willing to push the boundaries of what is considered reasonable or possible for the human body, I applaud. What they accomplish in competing, win or lose, helps me and every aging individual (which is everyone) push our boundaries.

I totally applaud Venus Williams and am truly surprised that some felt sad. I saw nobility.
