Reason to Smile: Are sports the fountain of youth?

The Winter Olympics featured countless memorable storylines, from hockey to figure skating and alpine skiing and curling. I happen to be a big fan of snowboarding Among the many fantastic storylines snowboarding provided, Nick Baumgartner's made me smile. At 44 years old, Baumgartner competed against the world's best in Snowboard Cross, which encompasses racing other riders (often younger riders in Baumgartner's case) at high speeds down an icy track. A gold medalist already, Baumgartner expressed his joy for simply participating in the sport he loves on a global stage. No hidden agendas, just a love for racing. It's sports in its simplest form--games we play, because they are fun. When asked if this year would be his last run in the Winter Games, Baumgartner said, "No." He would let his body decide, but until then, he'll keep training, preparing, and, most importantly, having fun.
