Today, at the Cross-country venue, last place finisher Roberto Carcelen grabbed a Peruvian flag and the heart strings of those who were watching, with an assist to the winner of the race, Switzerland's Dario Cologna.

Carcelen is a rarity. A Peruvian at a Winter Games. The fact that he finished 87th (dead last of those who completed the 15 kilometre course; five challengers did not finish for various reasons) didn't matter a lick.

That he was crossing the finish line almost 28 minutes behind Cologna was inconsequential. That the 43 year old Carcelen was struggling to that finish line just two weeks or so after suffering broken ribs in a training mishap, was.

And then, the capper. Olympic spirit personified.

Cologna, the gold medal winner, greeted Carcelen just after the man from Peru crossed the finish line, to offer congratulations. Also there was the 86th place finisher (more than ten minutes ahead of Carcelen), Dachhiri Sherpa, of Nepal, who gave Carcelen a hug.

Nice, Ms Sarah. I missed that on the news. And that is what they mean by true Olympic spirit. I wish it was more pervasive...in all aspects of our lives.

It's funny how every individual in the Olympics "Belong to one Country". It's the respect knowing how tough training is and how hard you have to work for years to become an elite performer.
