Personal Medals

I have just been watching Olympic figure skating. The commentator, when the couple performing screws up, says something such as, "Whether they are awarded with a medal here tonight, they get a personal medal," or "They certainly get a personal medal for taking that risk."

Personal medals? Excuse me? My guess is that the commentator has a few "personal medals" of his own. He probably has a display case for them too.

Heck, if it's that easy then I'm awarding myself a "personal medal" for figure skating too. A gold one.

Updated: Brett made me a personal medal, an virtual emblem if you will, representative of my accomplishments in various Olympic and semi-Olympic undertakings.

    You're right, a personal medal is worth as much (at least) as the real Olympic gold. I'm always so impressed when someone actually earns a personal medal--especially in the Olympics, of all places. It takes so much discipline to get there. But then to win a PERSONAL MEDAL on top of everything else!?! Nothing can compare to that. Nothing.

    Anyway, I was checking out the medal counts on NBC and found this. Congratulations, 1st place is pretty impressive.
