Olympics Truly Are Inspiring A Generation
By Nicole Hendry Reporter Youth Journalism International BIRMINGHAM, England – ‘Inspire a generation’ has been coined as the official slogan for the London 2012 Olympics, and that it will.

I only wish I were young enough to take up a sport I might be able to take to such Olympic levels. Aside from mere involvement, the extraordinary values of the athletes should, too, be taken as inspiration. Not only does the completion of such punishing fitness and training schedules mean they are … Read entire article »
