I’ve had the pleasure to know Ron, a 3x Decathalon gold medallist. Ron Johnson won first gold medal in World Masters Games in Italy in 2008. In Sept. 2009  in World Masters Games in Sydney he won 3 golds for the pole vault, javelin , and pentathalon which is five events, Ron won two silvers for Discus throwing and weight penthalon.

In the interview above Ron describes how he overcame the pain of stents in his veins to win multiple gold medals. This is a fantastic example of a man who’s risen above huge challenges to do what he loves.
