Leo Manzano after winning silver medal at 2012 London Olympic Games

null

Leo Manzano came into the 2012 London Olympic Games having made only one global championship final, which was in Berlin back in 2009 where he finished last in the race. Last year Leo missed the final with a hamstring injury, an injury that crept up on him before this year's Olympics. Manzano had to take some last minute steps to get his body back in the right spot to compete with the best in the world. He talks about his experience in London and what is like to win the first US Olympic 1500m medal since 1968. He also addresses the controversial Algerian champ, Taoufik Makhloufi.
