toodamnmanymusesHer head held high, K’tanya stood on the podium, watching as the flag was raised to the sounds of the Star Spangled Banner echoing though the arena. She had spent the last several months, give or take, pursuing her goal of an Olympic gold medal, and now it was a reality. The couple of hours she had spent in training every week had paid off at long last.
Sure, the medal itself was only gold-plated instead of the solid metal that her Nobel Prize and United States Congressional Gold were, but that wasn’t the point. The point was that she was standing in front of millions of people across the world, representing her chosen country, with a feat of strength, daring, and agility that no one else could match. She had shown everyone that she, K’tanya Demonstar, was second to none, and she had done it with style. Most importantly, she had shown that hockey wasn’t just a man’s sport, and had become the greatest player to ever live!
In your face, Gretzky.
