I read that if the TV was on in your home as a kid then it was probably a soccer game playing. Naomi Girma: My dad loved soccer and that started with his childhood in Ethiopia, just playing with his friends after school. Girma: On Saturday mornings, we would all gather at a local park and it was very fun and informal. His coming to the U.S., barely speaking any English, and then getting an electrical engineering degree and becoming an electrical engineer for most of my life was really, really inspiring. I think for me to be able to take that into the Olympics would be just a really, really special feeling.
