Re: motivational olympic stories
The story about the two saudia arbian girls that particpated in the olympics is a good story too!! they are facing a lot of criticisim and backlash in their country for particpating because they are women!! I definitely think they should be proud of their participation and are true women's right leaders for their country!!!

She also spent most of the time she was fighting in her second fight and subsequant fights, with a broken thumb.

Manteo Mitchell, the U.S. 400 meter hurdler who's leg broke in mid-race, and he still managed to finish his part of the event and hand the baton off to the next runner. His team then finished well enough to qualify for the finals.
