The Men’s 1500 meter Speed Skating event at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics was full of excitement and some despair.

The Arizona Cardinals were on the brink this year. Almost making the playoffs seems but yet another disappointing season now that it’s all over with. But at the time, I’m sure every player and fan alike were absolutely estatic. One thing they can take from this is a learning …
