Sprinters Michelle-Lee Ahye and Crystal Emmanuel-Ahye are at their fourth Summer Games. Emmanuel-Ahye told Outsports they got married in the U.S. last year.
Some people’s relationships themselves are all about competition and it’s what keeps the relationship going. I’ve known couples like that. They can be fun, but exhausting.
It’s a heartwarming story, but I can’t imagine competing against my own wife in a zero-sum competition.
Unless we both lose and get to comfort each other with cheap participation trophies.
It’s not zero-sum. For example, if you put up a PB (Personal Best time) and lose, that’s still a win.
