Nine Gold Medals by David Roth
CD: Digging Through My Closet
Song Description
The story behind Nine Gold Medals has become an urban legend, i.e. a story with some truth that reappears from time to time in different forms. I have received chain email messages that include it.
The story takes place at a Special Olympics track and field competition where in a running event one of the athletes stumbles and falls. The other athletes in the race stop and return to make sure that their fellow athlete has not been hurt. They all get up, lock arms, and cross the finish line together.
