From the website of the man who — as much as any American Olympian you could ever meet — refuses to give up:
"I am looking forward," Nick Scandone sent from China, "to fulfilling my lifelong dream." Never mind, for the moment, that his life includes Lou Gehrig's disease. The use of his legs is gone. His arms have seriously weakened. Today was harder than yesterday, and tomorrow will be harder still. How many tomorrows he has, nobody knows. And still, he sails on.
