The union welder? The athletes? McDonald's or Proctor & Gamble?

marathoner from Ethiopia have a chance for a better life. Saudi women had a chance to compete for the first time.

I find it hard to get excited about the NBA players beating up on Nigeria - but a lot of less-fortunate athletes have had a chance to shine, and succeed.
