Where were you when Kerri brought it home?

I love the Olympics. Tomorrow night they get started again, and I can't wait!

I will never forget being in my apartment in Auburn in the Summer Olympics in 1996 when Kerri Strug had the whole world watching as she fought to win the Gold for the US Gymnastics team. It was up to her. She finished the first vault with a fall, limping away to go for her second try in obvious discomfort. Then it happened....

Well, just watch for yourself....





I sat still, stunned, in tears. I could hear my neighbors cheering!

Where were you when that happened?
