The Olympic spirit in Team Handball

Joe Posnanski at the Olympics – Meet �lafur Stef�nsson: The Coolest Guy at the Olympics: The Olympics are so gigantic, with so many athletes, each one of them representing not only a single dream, but also the dreams of so many of their family and friends and neighbors and communities and cities and states and countries. We all have to simplify because it’s too big, so we concentrate on Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps and Gabby Douglas and Jessica Ennis and some promising athlete from the neighborhood who swam eight hours a day or ran nonstop at the local track or practiced her gymnastics all day after school. But the truth is, you could walk into any Olympic arena and find a story.
