As expected, contingents who got support from their government were motivated to give their best too. The results are there to tell the difference.

One of such impressive performances observed at the Olympic was United State’s pole vaulter, Sam Kendricks. No, it is not actually his bronze-winning-performance, but his patriotism.

Kendricks, an Army Reserve 2nd LT was going for his attempt at the pole vault, then he hears his country’s national anthem being played. He stopped mid-way to the surprise of judges and spectators, coming to attention until the anthem was over.
