This is what a champion looks like

Christina is headed out for a run after working a full day. She is a champion! I watched a  E60 episode on ESPN earlier about a high school wrestler who was born with physical disabilities. He was bound to a wheel chair because he couldn't use his legs and had limited use of one of his arms. Despite this, he went out for the wrestling team in High School. He lost every match his freshman year. Over twenty of them. Same story for his sophomore year. And junior year. Each off season, he would harder on his fitness so he could become a champion.

His senior campaign went the same way. 20 plus matches. 20 plus defeats. Until the end of the season. Somehow, he was able to squeak out a win. Not because he was better but because he wanted it more than his opponent. Pure will with God's touch gave him his first and only victory. That kid is as much a champion as Dan Gable, who is regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Gable went 181-1 in High School and college.

Christina could kick both their asses. Okay, picking on a kid in a wheelchair isn't very PC but she could. Dan Gable? Hmmm. I  have never seen a more competitive person than her. Somehow, she has overcome every challenge put in front of her. She makes it look easy. And beautiful. And fun. She will do the same thing to this fucking cancer! By the end of the match, cancer will be tapping out. Guarantee it..
