00:00:58.420 And then we can get into it, because I want to ask you about this.
00:01:01.180 Okay, so 30 years ago, I went to the Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia.
00:01:08.060 I represented the red, white, and blue, my country that I love so much.
00:01:14.000 I love it.
00:01:17.300 And as you can see, the woman, not right behind me, but the other woman right there is my mother.
00:01:28.420 And people don't really know my story.
00:01:31.320 You know, I come from seven of us in a one-bedroom with no light, no heat.
00:01:37.120 And I beat all odds to get to where I got to. 1.00
00:01:39.720 So my mother was on drugs.
00:01:41.340 My dad went to prison.
00:01:43.520 And it was always one of my goals since I watched the Olympic Games in 1984.
00:01:49.620 I think I seen Mary Lou Retton. 0.99
00:01:52.320 She was a gymnast.
00:01:53.480 I see Mary Lou Ritton competing in Olympic games and different people competing in Olympic games.
00:02:00.880 And it was always one of my goals was to go to the Olympic games.
00:02:04.720 And I was able to compete in the 1996 Olympic games.
00:02:10.120 And right there, that night, I fought, I was 19 years old, and I fought against the amateur world champion, Serafim Todorov.
00:02:20.540 He's from Bulgaria.
00:02:21.700 Yep. And I know I really beat him. I beat him. That was in the semifinals in the Olympics. 1.00
00:02:28.320 And I ended up receiving a bronze, receiving a bronze medal and I didn't win.
00:02:33.900 So my tears right there, I was hurt because I felt I felt like I let my mother down.
00:02:40.080 I let I let my country down. I let my father down. But things happen and you live and you learn.
00:02:46.100 And actually, that was the best day of my life because I knew I didn't want that feeling anymore.
00:02:51.100 So I went out there and turned professional and now today I'm 50 and 0
