Boy Athletic
The Olympics have started and one of the more interesting stories for the United States team has been who the athletes have chosen as the flag bearer for the opening ceremonies. They could have easily chosen someone like Michael Phelps or Kobe Bryant, but they chose Lopez Lomong. Lomong is a runner and is scheduled to run in the 1,500 meter race.
Lomong was born in Sudan and is one of the “Lost Boys of Sudan”. The Lost Boys are group of about 3,800 refugees from Sudan that were brought from Sudan to the United States in 2001. Only about 100 of the refugees were female. They were either separated from their parents or orphaned. The Lost Boys were spread out over 38 cities in U.S. The story was made into a documentary called “Lost Boys of Sudan” which follows the adjustment period of some of the refugees that came to America.
Lomong was relocated to Tully, NY when he was transferred to the U.S. from Sudan. He graduated from high school in Tully and went to college at Northern Arizona University. Lomong became an American citizen in 2007. Lomong is also part of Team Darfur, which is a group of athletes from various countries that want to bring attention to the crisis in Darfur.
The story of the Lost Boys isn’t quite the same as the current conflict in Darfur. The deaths occurred in different parts of Sudan and to different ethnic groups; however, both of the crises have resulted in the deaths of millions of people.
There are many facets to Lomong’s story. There is the sports side, the political side, and the charity aspect. 104inc.com is one of the places you can go on the internet to get all of the aspects of a story.
Do you think that Lopez Lomong should have been been the United States Olympics Flag Bearer even though he's only been a citizen since 2007? Comments?
