30 Years Ago Todayš
Itās hard to believe that itās been three decades since I stood on that podium, proudly winning the Gold Medal against Abbas Jadidi. Coming from humble I grew up a laborerās 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 didnāt 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 LETāS GO!
Hereās to every athlete dreaming big....never give up, keep pushing, and make your dreams a reality! šŗšøšŖ#Happy30YearsOfGold
Almost every single day I get online, thereās a story about a white man killing his entire family. Thereās an obvious epidemic, yet this demographic is not labeled as violent. If this were a Muslim or a Black man, it would be a different story.
