Hear how the United States' decision to boycott the Olympic Games in Moscow slowed Rowdy down but didn't stop him, and what he says about his appearance at the 1984 competition.

Posted 9:18am February 27thGreat, inspirational message Rowdy. It's almost impossible to envision reaching the pinnacle of success of making the USA Olympic team only to be informed that you will not be able to complete after endless years of dedicated training. Just to find the motivation to face another 4 years of incredibly difficult, dedicated training and hence refusing to give up your dream is amazing. That's what champions of are made of and when I looked up the definition of champion in the dictionary, I found a picture of you!
