I'm not so good at finishing the things I start, but here's an exception and third installment of my Beijing Olympics salute. Like those of Bronze and Silver medalists, the Gold medal winners are probably faces that you didn't see much of on the national coverage in the United States.
May their success shine in their home nations and inspire others to excel no matter the odds.
