The true spirit of athletics - Polish athlete auctions off silver medal to pay for a child's heart surgery

With all of the lousy stuff going on, wanted to share are real class act, on multiple levels. Link below, but long story short, Polish javelin thrower Maria Andrejczyk has auctioned off her silver medal for $125,000 to help an infant get life-saving cardiac surgery in the US. The winning bid was from a store chain that then said they want her to keep the medal. Not surprised that the chain did that, kind of figured the winner would, but still a class act all around.
