From Parque Calderon shoeshine boy to world champion . . .

Who would think that a gold metal Olympian would have such humble beginnings as to be shining shoes as a child in order to provide money for his family.

I received permission from Cuenca High Life to re-post this article about Ecuador's only gold metal winner at the Olympic games.  It is a very inspiring story:
