Yesterday we watched Erick Barrondo race walk his way into history, winning the first ever Olympic medal for his country. It was pretty exciting and has undoubtedly been the topic of conversation on every street corner. When we turned back to the local station hours later the announcers were still recapping his victory. Not only did Barrondo win a silver medal, but he kept China from sweeping the top three spots. AND he is a good role model, using his Olympic success as a platform to encourage youth to make smarter choices and turn to sports rather than violence. Go Erick!
