This weekend we heard the story of Olympic Gold Medalist Chad Hedrick.  For 10 years, Chad was the overall world champion of inline skating.  In 2002 he exchanged pavement for ice when he became a speed skater, quickly winning the All-Around World Championship in Norway.  At the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Torino, he won three medals: the gold in the 5000m, a silver in the 10,000m and a bronze in the 1500m—becoming only the third Winter Olympian to win 3 medals in a single Olympic Games.

Chad and his family have been a part of our Capital family for the last year. I invited him to share the story of his spiritual journey with our community before he departed for the Vancouver Games.  If you missed the video or the live interview, you can view it below.

Also, keep an eye on Chad in the coming weeks:
