Quite a story:
Lopez Lomong is a very young African kid from South Sudan who suddenly finds himself in a life or death struggle for about 1 month. He gets saved by 3 teenagers who he never sees again. They all run for about 70 miles to the border with Kenya. From there, he gets taken to the refugee camp: Kakuma. He stays at this camp for apparently the next 10 years. During the struggle he causes damage to his legs.

How good was he?
I thought for sure he would end up winning the gold medal in the Olympics. But, when I checked the times, he was actually 7 seconds behind world record time in the 1 mile. Even though I thought he was going to dominate, it was a huge accomplishment for him to make the Olympics team.

We are all still alive:
Just about the time he decides on a specific college , he discovers his real parents are still alive. He goes back to Africa and celebrates with all the people of the village. Things are going well for a kid who almost died at the age of six.

A lucky break?
He gets himself selected to be in a group of kids(17 years old), who basically get adopted by, in his case, wealthy Americans living in Syracuse, New York. He spent 6 months in Nairobi getting schooled on being American and the first thing he does when he gets to Syracuse is go for a long run.
