Olympic Hopeful

Michael Hubbs is an Olympic short-track speed skate hopeful - even though he never laced up speed skates before coming to the Olympic Training Center in Salt Lake City just a couple of years ago. The 29-year-old was born deaf and completed as an inline skater as a teen. He switched to swimming at the Texas School for the Deaf, becoming a state champion and later setting records for Gallaudet University. Hubbs decided to return to inline competition after a decade away from the sport, winning some won medals before moving to Utah to pursue an Olympic dream on the ice.

USA Swimming Reverses Decision

Deaf swimmers will be allowed to use hand signals at the at the U.S. Olympic trials this summer. That's the decision from USA Swimming. It's a switch from the organization’s decision earlier this week, that said signals would not be allowed because international rules don't allow them. Swimmer Marcus Titus had asked his supporters to make their opinions known in support of deaf athletes. Titus is one of the country's top breaststrokers, posting the fastest time at last month's 100-meter breaststroke which beat four-time Olympic medalist Brendan Hansen. Deaf swimmer Terence Parkin of South Africa took the silver medal in the 200 breaststroke during the 2000 Olympics in Australia.
