DALIAN, China -- Eight years ago, Lopez Lomong didn't even have a country. Now he'll be carrying the flag for his adopted nation, leading the U.S. Olympic team at opening ceremonies Friday night.......
He earned his spot at Olympic trials on July 6, exactly one year after he gained his U.S. citizenship....
the reason i find this story a little more personal is back in 2001 i remember watching Lopez running track at tully high school here near syracuse. you could tell something was special with him.... and whether he wins a medal or not... how can you not be inspired?
