A Common Bond

As I follow the progress of ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes’ feat of endurance, 50 marathons in 50 consecutive days in 50 different states, I find myself reflecting on the bond shared among high performance athletes like Dean and our own table tennis athletes. Be it the pursuit of athletic excellence, individual achievement, adherence to the principles of sound body and mind, or a profound sense of camaraderie…it’s inspiring to watch birds of a feather constantly push their limits to new heights. I raise my glass these runners and ping pongers, for their drive inspires us all to shoot for the stars every day.
