Olympics...

Well, another Olympics has come and gone, and what is so fascinating about it is the stories of the people involved and the amazing grit and guts these people have...

My absolute favorite story though, has to be the South African woman who swam in the open water swimming event...Seems she was a pool swimmer until she lost her leg in a scooter accident, who when she tried to go back to lane swimming had problems staying in a straight line, so she switched to open water swimming, which requires more upper body strength than average swimming and the straight line is not as critical. Well folks, this lady makes the Olympic team, despite having one leg, and even though she finishes the race in 16th place, she is only a minute and 22 seconds behind the winner for a 6 1/2 mile swim.

A freakin' mazing...

...Also, who knew the national sport of Hungary was water polo?
