Does that make sense?
Greg KaplanHOST
Yeah, the, yeah, no, exact- because this, um, this kind of happened, shit, what was it? The 1960 Olympics, um, USA versus USSR, where they magically added a second back in the gold medal game, and the US lost to Russia.
Ryan MeadHOST
Yeah.
Greg KaplanHOST
And the only film of the game is Zapruder-like.

Charlie DatesHOST
One particular name that comes to mind is that of Wilma Rudolph.
Charlie DatesHOST
You all remember Wilma from the 1960 Olympics, those of you who were here then or who have read about it.
Charlie DatesHOST
You might remember that Wilma grew up with a brace on her leg because of polio.
Charlie DatesHOST
So her siblings and the neighborhood children teased her.
Charlie DatesHOST
She looked at her and told her, you can be and will become whatever God has made you to be.
Charlie DatesHOST
And whatever God intends, it will happen in your life.
Charlie DatesHOST
Well, years later, church, I'm happy to report that Wilma Rudolph became the fastest woman in the world when she took three gold medals at the 1960 Olympics.
Charlie DatesHOST
Because sometimes the people closest to you only see what they think are the faults about you.
