My Take
Lutz Dombrowski, the long jumper from Zwickau, is an Olympic champion, and at 187 cm I can picture him slicing through the air with that explosive East German power. His Patriotic Order of Merit in Silver speaks to what he meant to his country. But the detail I love most is what came after: he became a physical education teacher. A man who reached the very summit of his sport chose to stand in a gym and pass that hard-won bodily wisdom to children. There is something deeply unglamorous and honest about that choice. I have a soft spot for champions who stay grounded, and he is exactly that.
