Courage is easy to talk about but hard to practise. How can we find
the courage to speak out for the right thing? And do you have the
courage to face your fears? Greek gymnast Eleftherios Petrounias
won gold on the rings at Rio 2016. His journey to that moment was
difficult. He was bullied as a child for being short and lost his
father two weeks before he became world champion in 2015. We also
talked to him about the bravery of US gymnasts – like Aly Raisman -
who spoke out against their abuser and recently won an award for
their courage. LINKS: Simone Biles article:
