    The future of the Olympic Games in the children

    By misael  |  Posted August 6, 2012  
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     iReporter Misael Rincon was so proud of his Dominican countryman, Felix Sanchez, winning the 400m hurdles gold medal that he snapped these images of his own son, five year old Victor Augusto, posing on a local race track to celebrate. Sanchez was visibly emotional on the podium on receiving his medal, in no small part due to the memory of his grandmother, who passed away during the Beijing Olympics where he competed and in whose memory he had vowed to claim victory in London. "We saw the race and everything went crazy when he won," our iReporter said. "People were in the streets, playing the horns of their cars, it was a feeling of incredible joy. Felix Sanchez was not the only one crying!"
