As bad as the Olympic viewership (and arguably the games as a whole), this is an awesome story... https://www.espn.com/olympics/track...s-silver-medal-help-toddler-get-heart-surgery Polish javelin thrower Maria Andrejczyk auctions silver medal to help an infant get heart surgery Javelin thrower Maria Andrejczyk has auctioned off her Tokyo Games silver medal for $125,000 to help an infant in her native Poland get life-saving heart surgery. On Wednesday, Andrejczyk posted on her Facebook page that she came across the fundraiser for 8-month-old Miłoszek Małysa, who had a serious heart defect and needed surgery, and she decided to auction off her lone Olympic medal to help raise money for his surgery. "He already has a head start from Kubus -- a boy who didn't make it in time but whose amazing parents decided to pass on the funds they collected," she wrote in Polish on her page. "And in this way, I also want to help. It's for him that I am auctioning my Olympic silver medal." On Monday, she confirmed on Instagram that Żabka, a Polish supermarket chain, won the auction with a bid of $125,000. The money raised will allow the boy to get the necessary surgery at Stanford University Medical Center. In a surprising twist of events, Żabka decided to give the medal back to Andrejczyk. Andrejczyk, who missed an Olympic medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics by 2 centimeters, suffered from a shoulder injury in 2017 and was diagnosed with bone cancer in 2018. She went through recovery to make a comeback and win her first Olympic medal in Tokyo earlier this month.
