30 Years Ago Today🏅
It’s hard to believe that it’s been three decades since I stood on that podium, proudly winning the Gold Medal against Abbas Jadidi. Coming from humble I grew up a laborer’s son from Dormont Pittsburgh, I never imagined my dreams would ever come true.
This journey has taught me that discipline beats excuses every time. All you need is a dream, and anything is possible. I didn’t just represent my hometown and my college, I proudly wore the colors of the United States of America on my heart, driven by blood, sweat, tears, and even a broken neck.
Looking back, if I had the chance to do it all over again, my answer would always be a resounding LET’S GO!
Here’s to every athlete dreaming big....never give up, keep pushing, and make your dreams a reality! 🇺🇸💪#Happy30YearsOfGold
They say all countries are created equal.
But then you look at the United States of America, and then you look at everybody else and you know that statement ain’t true.
See, every country’s got a 50/50 chance of being the greatest at best.
But America’s not every country.
You take that 50% chance, add 250 years of freedom, multiply it by the strongest military on Earth, multiply that by millions of hard-working Americans, then add the Stars and Stripes and one bald eagle.
Now everybody else looks at that equation and they KNOW they can’t compete.
So everybody else’s 50% chance drastically goes down.
And America’s chance of being the greatest country on Earth goes up to 141 2/3%!
The numbers don’t lie. And they spell disaster for anyone who thinks they can compete with the United States of America!
Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸
HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME!
