The only way I could describe it -- the full effect -- is like having a death in the family. The entire family was ripped apart.
My father came here for freedom. And this country has meant freedom to him. To have his son in the Olympics, it's the ultimate thrill for him.
He'd be out on the track, running on his sled in the middle of the night.
It was like having a death in the family.
All of the years of training and dedication are going to pay off.
