Some people say that music is the universal language. If that's, true, then sports are a close second. Think about it. Every four years the countries of the world come together for soccer's World Cup as well as for the Olympics. They take pride in presenting their best to compete against the best.

Learn about the greatness of basketball player Dikembe Mutombo, tennis champion Martina Navratilova, baseball hero Albert Pujols, weight lifter-turned-movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger, and other athletes who have come to America and excelled.
