August 24, 2016: The gesture heard 'round the world

A few days old, but still in the news.

On Sunday, Ethiopian Feyisa Lilesa won the silver medal in the marathon at the Rio Olympics. But it was his gesture at the end that made more news...a gesture so powerful, he won't return home.

The New York Times explains. Think of the salute Katniss gave to the people of District 11 when laying Rue to rest in The Hunger Games.

He's making sure his underarm deodorant is still working.
