MEDAL QUEST | Introducing Medal Quest | "My goal -- gold for my country!" | PBS

Duration: 07:26

MEDAL QUEST kicks off with an introduction to "the best athletes in the world" -- the elite athletes of the Paralympic Games. Competing in sports as different as wheelchair basketball, archery, judo, cycling, and more, these American athletes personify the grit, the strategy, and the skill it takes to go for the gold. Watch the video, hear these athletes' stories, and see them compete around the world, as they prepare for the London Games, starting August 29, 2012. MEDAL QUEST offers an unprecedented look into these high-stake games, and is produced by WGBH Boston in association with PBS.
