Everybody is so amazed about Michael Phelps getting 8 golds and Usain Bolt breaking three world records in the track and field event. But have you read the most inspiring story of all which reflects the true meaning of Olympics. Beijing Olympic is not about how many medals an athlete have attained but rather sacrifices made just to be able to compete in that very competitive type of gathering in all sports.
