Sarah Burke Tribute at Winter X Games 2012
/ On : 5:31 AM/ Thank you for visiting my small blog here. If you wanted to discuss or have the question around this article, please comment here.
A friend, daughter, wife, sister, hero, legend was honored on the opening night of the 2012 Winter X Games in Aspen, CO. For a moment the action sports community paused to pay tribute to one of the greatest spirits to have graced this earth – Sarah Burke. To say the least, the dedication of the Winter X Games to the memory of Sarah was fitting.
In short, the tribute was poignant and emotionally stirring: Sal Masekela’s words spoke true, very very true…
“Sarah’s true legacy will not be found in any stat line or in any record book. You see, if you met Sarah Burke once, you had a friend for life…”
The opening day (and night) of competition at Winter X Games 2012 delivered moments of extraordinary athleticism, culminating with the crowning of champions. Yet, as impressive as these moments may have been (and will be to come), none will be as memorable as the bright shining light that is Sarah’s legacy. Thank you Sarah for all you have shown us – we will carry on your torch with heads held high.
