What a great Wimbledon win for the unassuming Marion Bartoli from France as she took out the Women's trophy against an equally modest Sabine Lisicki from Germany over the weekend.
The follow-up clash last night between Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic was riveting, with Murray delighting Brits all over the world as he became the first British Wimbledon champ in 77 years. Murray's victory was even sweeter for being against arch rival, Djokovic, although both men obviously have the greatest respect for the other.
At the same time as these two gutsy blokes were centrecourt at Wimbledon, the iron men of cycling were agonizingly wending their way onward and upward through the Pyrenees in their herculean struggle to be heralded as the best in the world. We are right behind our Aussie boys.
Most of us cannot hope to approach the amazing achievements of these elite athletes, but we can learn a lot from them about persistence, resilience, strength of character and graciousness when pipped at the post or on the other side of the net. These positive human qualities are all applauded by Brisbane Mediations.
