The story of a silver medalist in track and field at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games putting up his medal at auction is touching.

Poland's Maria Andrejczyk won the silver medal in the women's javelin throw at the Tokyo Olympics.
It was his glorious first medal, and he put it up for auction less than a week after receiving it.
The reason was to help an 8-month-old Polish baby awaiting heart surgery in the United States.
The silver medal was sold at an auction for 44,000 euros, or about 60 million won, and the entire amount will be delivered to the child's family and will be used for surgery expenses.
This isn't the first time he has donated medals.
The gold medal won at the European Cup last May was also donated to a child suffering from heart disease.
"The real value of medals remains in my mind," Andreichk said. "It's worth saving a life more than a medal collecting dust in your closet."
Netizens who saw this commented, "It's a great character to use the results of over 4 years of sweat for someone else..." "He's a great sportsman who knows what's worth. I'm a fan!"
