Olympic Inspiration
August 24, 2008 by tigerelly
As the 2008 Olympics come to an end, I leave you the inspirational stories of Samia Yusuf Omar and Abdi Said Ibrahim. The only athletes sent by Somalia to the Beijing games came dead last in their events, but the fact that they were there to run speak volumes about their strength and determination. It also exhibits the unifying power of these games and what it means to the world. Enjoy the story and be inspired!
