Óscar Figueroa spent twelve years chasing one dream: an Olympic gold medal. At the 2008 Beijing Games, his right hand gave out and he could not complete a single lift, and doctors later found a cervical hernia that many believed would end his career. But after surgery and years of rehab, he fought back to win silver in 2012, then returned in 2016 determined to finish what he started. In Rio, he finally lifted his way to gold and became the first Colombian man to ever become an Olympic champion. The moment he won, he took off his shoes and left them on the platform, retiring on the very spot where his dream came true.
