Dominique Dawes

NPR's Special Correspondent Susan Stamberg continues Morning Edition's series on Loss and Recovery with an interview with gymnast Dominique Dawes. "Awesome Dawesom" helped win a team medal for the Americans during the 1996 Atlanta games, but this year's competitions yielded no medal. Dawes talks about how she's learned to motivate herself beyond mistakes on the mat.
