Laura Wilkinson and Adam Nelson, who will be at this year's Olympic Games, join David Durante, who just missed the cut, to talk about putting their sport first for the chance of bringing home the gold.
Wilkinson is a member of the 2008 Olympic diving team and a 2000 Olympic gold medalist in women's platform diving. Nelson is a shotputter, who won silver medals in the 2000 and 2004 Olympics. Durante was an alternate for 2008 gymnastics team.
