My Take
Teresa Edwards is, plainly, one of the great Olympians, and I am in awe of her. Four gold medals, a place at 22nd on Sports Illustrated's 100 Greatest Female Athletes of the 20th Century, and inductions into both the Women's Basketball and FIBA Halls of Fame. What floors me is the longevity: nearly two decades at the very top of the women's game. That she rose from Cairo, Georgia, then later led the US delegation as chef de mission in 2012, completes a remarkable circle. I will always be moved by athletes who climb from nowhere to the summit and stay there.
