Bryshon Nellum
Almost four years ago, Nellum (right) was shot three times in the legs by gang members, even though Nellum has no gang affiliation. At the time doctors said he might never run competitively again, and Nellum needed three surgeries to repair the damage. At trials he took third place in the 400 meters to earn a spot on the Olympic team. (Eric Gay/Associated Press)
