There were several \u201cfan favorite\u201d veterans featured in Heart of Invictus<\/em>, the spectacular docuseries showing competitors training ahead of The Hague Invictus Games last year. My favorite was definitely Yuliia \u201cTaira\u201d Paievska, the Ukrainian medic who was captured by Russians before the games. But I had so many other favorites too, like Gabe George, the American Navy veteran dealing with chronic pain from a motorcycle accident and an amputation. Gabe has sort of become the face of the series in America, and he\u2019s given interviews to People Magazine and other outlets about his friendship with Prince Harry. They went scuba diving together in Hawaii! Well, ahead of the Dusseldorf games, Gabe appeared on CBS\u2019s This Morning, and the interview was super-charming.<\/p>\n He shares how he perseveres through pain for his daughter, connecting with Prince Harry and how he finds purpose through sport and @WeAreInvictus. pic.twitter.com\/Aj1HMm8teN<\/p>\n — CBS Mornings (@CBSMornings) September 7, 2023<\/p>\n<\/p>\n He\u2019s such an inspirational person – I choked up a few times, especially when he spoke about his daughter and figuring out that he wanted to live. Of course, they asked him about Prince Harry too, and Gabe said in part: \u201cTalking to him was like talking to a brother of mine, it\u2019s \u2018cause he\u2019s a human being\u2026 there was never a moment where he looked down upon me or made me feel like oh \u2018he\u2019s lesser than me\u2019. Like, the Invictus Games, for him coming to it and witnessing it and putting on the event, gives us all a connection\u2026 the Invictus Games isn\u2019t about Harry, it\u2019s about us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Real question: should there be a second season of Heart of Invictus?<\/em> Because I would totally watch it – I loved being able to hear the veterans\u2019 stories and see how Invictus works on a country-by-country level with the support teams and training. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photos courtesy of Netflix.<\/small><\/p>\n
