Kerri Strug: Boss Olympian

A co-worker and I were speaking about the Olympics, things we like and things we don't.

I for one despise Ryan Lochte.  You couldn't find a bigger douche than that guy.  His personality represents pretty much everything the world hates about America.  Way to feed that stereotype, dude.

Doing a complete 180 from Lochte -- hell, a different planet really -- was Keri Strug, a gold medal winner in the 1996 games.  Strug was the gymnist who vaulted on a severely damaged ankle to win gold.  It is quite possibly the toughest act that I've ever seen in sports.  Wikipedia has a good description of the event.
