Asean Para Games: A most important moment for gold medallist Jason Chee

Click HERE

Another local disabled sport example to add on to the likes of Theresa Goh and Yip Pin Xiu.....

Victory is needed to build self-esteem/ self-worth? :
"Winning this gold was the most important moment for me. I have waited so long to win the gold,"

Or is participation in / qualification for major competitions alone enough, esp for disabled since they know they can never be the best (against the 'normal' athletes) and that they're competing mostly against their own self (i.e. their own handicap)? Hence, earning a place to compete is already seen as a major achievement and a great milestone for themselves?

Qns:
1. Winning is everything. Do you agree?
2. Consider the view that sport brings out the best in people.
