Nick Symmonds is a Stud
Nick Symmonds is a stud.
First, he set the American record for the beer mile and then he picked up a silver medal in the 800 at this summer’s world championships.
He got a fair amount of press at the world’s for his support of gay rights (and opposition to Russia’s new, draconian and rather creepy anti-homosexual legislation), but this essay he wrote about what his medal means is one of the nicest things I’ve read recently and should be circulated widely.
