Weekend America 2008.08.02 – Listening In at the Paralympics
Mary Stack is an amazing athlete who has followed her prowess as a lifter all the way to the Beijing 2008 Paralympics, representing the US proudly. I spent the day with her as she went through her workout routine at the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor. She let me in on her playlist for powerlifting, which ends with a rip-your-face-off “So What” by Metallica. For Stack, this song means the waiting is over, there’s no more getting ready, it’s time to get out there and go for gold.
