Nastia Liukin is my person of the week because of the grace and maturity she showed when the judges awarded the gold medal to her competitor despite the fact that they both had identical scores in the uneven bars. Despite the seemly unfairness of this, Nastia refused to complain or criticize the judges. She showed a great deal of sportsmanship and maturity when she said, “It’s nothing I can control, and honestly, I can say it has been very fair to me, and I got the biggest gold medal of them all,” said Liukin, winner of the women’s all-around gymnastics gold.” A lot of people would not have been so understanding about loosing the gold medal despite having identical scores to the girl who received the gold medal claiming it wasn’t fair but Nastia showed a great deal of maturity. For that, she deserves to be the person of the week.

Grace is a good word to use to describe her.
She is lucky to have the mom and dad she has. That's huge.

loosing = losing
Love your blog, and your observations, but if you're a "professional" blogger and your words will be here for posterity, perhaps you should proofread more ? Set a higher standard, especially since you love words.
