but I have to differ on one point of contention, the fact is Roman, you are a champion…

Champion, is defined in multiple ways, and not all champions wear gold belts.

Some examples are:
a person who fights for or defends any person or cause: a champion of the oppressed.

to act as champion of; defend; support: to champion a cause.

I think, myself and many of your other regular readers would all agree that those definitions fit you well. No one that I can tell, supports and encourages our local extreme sport athletes like you do. It’s something I truly admire and respect.

I know you’re a humble man, and would contend that a lot of people helped along the way… but when presented the definitions above, no one would argue with you being called a Champion.

Keep up the good work and positivity.
