Mexico's Olympic Cross-Country Skier Finished Dead Last In True Humbling, Olympic Spirit

Toby Lambert, February 17, 2018

An upstanding example of what the Olympics are about.

Cross-country skier German Madrazo of Mexico may have finished last during his Olympic freestyle event Thursday, but he and his fellow competitors are making headlines for showing the utmost sportsmanship.

In Pyeongchang, Madrazo completed the men's 15-kilometer cross-country freestyle in 116th place.

The 43-year-old only started cross-country skiing last year, after reading an article about the sport in a magazine.

At the finish, his fellow skiers and competitors from Colombia, Tonga, Morocco, and Portugal waited to congratulate him and give him a proper hero’s welcome.

Congrats to Switzerland’s Dario Cologna for winning the competition! And congrats to German Madrazo doing the damn thing ever so humbly and gracefully.
