MEDAL QUEST | MEDAL QUEST AT THE GAMES| "I set a goal last year." | PBS
Duration: 03:28
Last year Rudy Garcia-Tolson decided to try to qualify in two Paralympic sports: on the track and in swimming. With heats and qualifying events before the finals, he's competing more than a dozen times in the two weeks of the 2012 Games. MEDAL QUEST offers an unprecedented look into these high-stake games and the athletes that play them, and is produced for PBS by WGBH Boston in association with the US Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee.
