每一届奥运会都留下了很多振奋人心的故事，每一个奥运英雄都书写了鼓舞人心的传奇。刚刚落幕不久的伦敦奥运会的口号是“鼓舞一代人（Inspire a Generation）”，而它也真的做到了。它让我们看到，奥运关乎的不只是金牌和荣誉，更是平等、坚持和团结的精神。它让我们在多年以后，仍能忆起那一张张坚毅的面孔，那一个个动人的瞬间，那一滴滴苦涩的汗珠与欢欣的泪水……

Great Britain is the source of some of our most cherished stories， from King Arthur and Robin Hood， to Oliver Twist and David Copperfield， to Winnie the Pooh and Harry Potter. Fittingly， the 2012 London Olympics provided us with more astounding stories， beginning with the Queen parachuting1） into the stadium next to James Bond2）.

And on their final afternoon， the 2012 Games gave us one last story， a tale of Dickensian strife3） and Shakespearean inspiration. As America's basketball players were adding gold to combined salaries exceeding $100 million， 25—year—old Adrien Niyonshuti of Rwanda was gasping for air and pedaling his mountain bike furiously4） up the final dusty hill of the Hadleigh Farm course.

Niyonshuti lost 40 family members in the 1994 genocide5）， including six brothers and sisters. He began riding six years ago on a borrowed bike and soon came in contact with Jock Boyer6）， the first American to ride in the Tour de France7）. Under Boyer's coaching， Niyonshuti steadily improved as a cyclist and qualified for these Olympics. He carried the Rwanda flag during the opening ceremonies and waved it proudly again for all the world to see during the closing ceremonies.

Niyonshuti said he rides to forget， and if he goes more than three days without riding， he suffers disabling headaches from the memories. He may ride to forget， but this time he rode to tell another story to the world.

"Rwanda is known for something that happened many years ago，" he said at the mountain bike course as the familiar Chariots of Fire8） theme played over the venue speakers. "Now I think everyone representing Rwanda here in athletics and showing the flag [can] change some of the history from past times.... When I carried that flag， I was happy for it to be seen around the world， to show that Rwanda is here."

London Olympic Committee chairman Sebastian Coe said during the closing ceremonies， "To all the Olympians who came to London to compete， thank you. Those of us who came to watch witnessed moments of heroism and heartache that will live long in the memory."

Indeed. We will look back on these London Olympics and say， "Once upon a time ..."

There was a young man named Michael who swam like a porpoise9） and competed like a shark. Michael was such a great swimmer that he competed at four Olympics， from age 15 to 27， and won 22 medals， including 18 golds. He was so good that when he won six medals—four gold！—at the 2012 Olympics， it was considered no big deal. He inspired a young swimmer from South Africa named Chad le Clos， who grew up to swim against his hero in London. And when he did， le Clos said he walked onto the pool deck thinking， "I want to make Michael proud." He did， beating Michael in the 200—meter butterfly and prompting10） his hero's eyes to get misty as he thought about his legacy11）.
