In a way, I'm glad the text is as trite as it is.
Because the photo is about a man helping a team member.
It shouldn't be any more touching than an NFL or Premier League player doing the same.

The fact these men are amputees shouldn't be more important than the fact they are accomplished athletes. Otherwise it's downright patronising.

I do like the shot without the captions though.
Because all the above notwithstanding, there is an added drama due to the prosthetics.
