THIS is how to recover from a fall! Ft. Diego Hypolito

Diego Hypolito is one of Brazil's most successful gymnasts. He won Gold medals at the 2005 and 2007 World Championships and Silver in 2006. A floor routine specialist, he was one of Brazil's biggest hopes at Beijing 2008. " In Beijing, I landed on my backside, in London I landed on my face...

We all know he is capable of the most perfect landing. For athletes of his calibre, it is a given. No question about it.....

I never gave up. I never let up. When i fell i got up again. We would drive hours to some of these events and if i fall down i am going to get up because my father did not drive that far and spend all that money for a quitter. He never told me that...i just knew that when you fall off a horse you get back on that horse because that's what winners do. This Olympian never stayed down. He always got up. I was crying as i watched this video because i knew he was going to put it all together. I was pulling for him...cheering him on. I felt like the official who put the medal on his neck hugged him in congratulations obviously knowing his tough luck in earlier olympics. Perseverence got him onto that podium.

As Brazilian, I see that Diego represents one of the main characteristics that I learned to admire in my country: the persistence. The life here isn't easy for the majority of the population, we have corruption, injustice almost in all parts of the society... But with the faith and the good persistence of many people, it's possible to find some "Diegos" in each part of Brazil. By the grace of the Lord, I'm one who also won: in my case, I won (with the love of the Lord) the death. I was abused when I was child... I was growing and understanding what happened. I became depressed and I had a huge fear to go out of my home. I thought to kill myself until someday I revolted with that supposed Jesus who someone told me about. I passed an afternoon asking and calling that Jesus: WHY? I was cured simply on an afternoon... I felt his curr and love, after to fall almost on the edge of the death. It's a long comment, I know... But as Diego taught me about it, maybe this testimonial can help and teach someone. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Even with this difficult times that we're passing, the Lord didn't forget us... Everything is being fullfiled according the Bible. I love you regardless who you are.
