Seven wonders: Charlottesville athletes go from Rt. 29 to the 29th Olympiad
Though they may look like ordinary Charlottesville citizens and UVA students, seven of the world's greatest athletes are either presently or currently walking among us. Soon, like Clark Kent emerging from the telephone booth, they will leave our little town to stand before the world as the supermen and superwomen they are at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
Since all have UVA ties, athletic director Craig Littlepage couldn't be more pleased.
"The fact that we do have a number of competitors in different sports as well as from different countries demonstrates the diversity of our successful and broad-based athletic program," says Littlepage. "It's an affirmation that UVA attracts persons with athletic as well as academic prowess not only from all over the country, but from all over the world."
