MR says: Awesome story. As a 17-year-old she refused to take steroids, which took her from the East German team; later she won gold.

For many athletes, success doesn't get much better than winning an Olympic gold medal. However, biathlete Antje Misersky Harvey was recently inducted into the German Sports Hall of Fame in addition to her previous gold medal achievements.

A resident of Heber City, Utah, and a German native, Sister Harvey traveled to Berlin with her family to receive the award on May 25. Held at the historic hotel, the Adlon, Sister Harvey was joined in the Hall of Fame award by her father, Henrich Misersky, and two other athletes who not only excelled in athleticism, but who each triumphed over some test of character within their sport.

What an inspiring story. Thanks for sharing. I love that she knew to make the right choice about steroids even before being a member of the Church or believing in God.
