Was lucky to catch the live relay of Pawel Fajdek from Poland winning the Hammer Throw event at the ongoing World Athletic Championships at Beijing.
Takes years and years of dedication, hard work and discipline to win a medal at this level.
Pawel decides to celebrate his win, gets drunk and wakes up in the morning only to find his medal missing. Cops help him find it.
Apparently, he gave his medal away to the cab driver in drunken stupor.
While he refuses to admit and claims it to be a figment of media's imagination, what comes to light is the fact that winning a medal at this level is one thing and maintaining your poise and composure is another.
A lesson to all of us - We struggle hard to get where we want to. And when we do, most of us tend to loosen the grip that we had on our goals. And that's where it begins to go wrong.
