We admire, and at times worship, those who are at the top of their game—whether it’s on skates or skis, on a track or a pitch, in water or on land, with a ball or a puck. When our heroes fail, we feel the agony. When they accomplish amazing feats, as so many have, we share the glory. The true icons, though, embrace their greatness with integrity and generosity and make a positive impact on their sport and the world around them. Sports Greats: Past & Present tells their stories.
