Mack Robinson, brother of Jackie Robinson, medaled in the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Upon returning home to California, the only work he could find as an African American was sweeping streets, which he did while wearing his Olympic 'USA' sweatshirt. source

my race honestly didn't go well at all. it was crazy windy and cold and I just felt terrible the entire time. but I know that God has big plans for me and that if I keep working hard and persevering through trials, it will make me stronger in the end.

Also... Mao Asada should have medaled. Her performance was so much more captivating than Carolina Kostner's.

And her bling is way cooler. #Justsayin
