Last Wednesday marked a sad day in the world of sport. Rafer Johnson, the iconic American decathlete, passed away at the age of 86. Johnson made a lasting impact on the world and individuals like Anita Lucette DeFrantz, a former Olympic rower, the first woman vice president of the IOC, and former president of the LA84 Foundation. Johnson’s legacy will live on, and he will be remembered by generations for his courage, excellence, and humanitarianism.
