#44 - "A Close Call With Death", with Guest, Peter Vidmar - USA Gymnastics Gold Medalist and All Around Champion with a near death experience!

55 minutes

Peter Vidmar! Peter is one of the most decorated American gymnasts in Olympic History. The winner of numerous national and international titles, he finished his successful career at the 1984 Olympic Games. As the USA men's gymnastics team captain, he led his teammates to America's first ever team gold medal, with their stunning upset victory over the defending world champions, the People's Republic of China! Peter went on to win the silver medal in the individual all-round competition (the first American to have won an Olympic All-Around medial), and with a perfect score of 10, captured the gold medal on the pommel horse. Peter is one of only three athletes inducted into the US Olympic Hall of Fame twice; first as an individual, then as a member of the historic 1984 USA Men's gymnastics team. He is also the author of Risk, Originality, and Virtuosity; The Keys to a Perfect 10. Now, listen in on how this incredible athlete had his very own close call with death and nearly found his life end way too soon! Thank you Peter for being on the show! It was an honor.
