Two years ago, Boris Brian was working at McDonald's. Now he is competing at the Olympics. A promising runner from Widefield High School in Colorado Springs, Berian struggled with his eligibility due to his grades. Eventually, he dropped out and tried to strike out on his own. He crashed on a friend's couch and found a job at McDonald's to subsidize his training. He even had to win a legal battle against Nike, but nothing held him back. Each day, he rode his bike or walked the nearly three miles to work the early shift, so he would have time to train in the evening. He earned his spot in Rio by finishing second behind Clayton Murphy in the 800m at the U.S. Track and Field Trials.
