New England native Devin Logan, a silver medalist in the 2014 games, will hit the slopes once again skiing for Team USA.

These athletes trained for years to reach their Olympic dreams and each sport features inspiring performances that can leave us wondering: What could we win a gold medal in if it was an Olympic sport?

Team USA Bobsledder Kris Horn of Pembroke shows off his strength pushing his sled, but does he show off that strength clearing off his driveway after a blizzard?

While we cheer on Team USA in Beijing, we want to hear about your own personal victory, however big or small you think it may be.
