I don't know about you, but I am really enjoying the summer Olympics.  I just can't get enough of Swimming, Volleyball, Cycling, and Gymnastics.  I think it will get even better once Track & Field starts.  So what makes the Olympics so great? More than the competition and athleticism, I think it is the stories.  

Enjoy this clip that was shot over a year ago highlighting Olympic gymnast, Shawn Johnson.  Her humbleness and gratitude alone make her a winner, but it's her story that makes her phenomenal.



At the age of six, Shawn Johson walked into an Iowa gym with only a dream and desire.  Within minutes, she was introduced to her coach, Chow Liang, a Beijing native and man who gave up academic opportunities to pursue his dream of coaching and having his own gymnasium.  Ten years later, coach and student, are fighting for Olympic gold in Liang's hometown.  Now, that's a story!  That's the Olympics.
