Did you see Ms. Coburn in front of the cameras after the race? She was interviewed with the two other Olympic team members. She was composed, gracious, polite and mature - she's been to a place like this before so perhaps not surprising. After her interview, she then went and made sure that her Quigley and Frierichs got their day in the sun in front of the cameras, even running over to Quigley to help compose her and get her in front of the cameras so she could present well.
Of course, I don't know Ms. Coburn personally, and frankly think some of the comments here are irresponsible (par for Lets Run), but if her conduct last night is any indication of the depth of her character, heck, she has a lot to bring to the table. Those small gestures matter a lot in terms of leadership (I know, I now direct a very large team with a number of managers at a global enterprise, and work like crazy at trying to make sure people are valued, even in small ways, and it is not all that easy), and I sure can't imagine having that kind of maturity when I was her age. Moreover, people generally tend to have this kind of awareness outside of themselves only by habit and practice, so it simply bespeaks well of her.
Kudos to her for shining so brightly in a moment where she didn't need to do so.
