SALT LAKE CITY (KYW Newsradio) — The competition heated up Saturday at the Transplant Games of America in Salt Lake City, with more swimming, basketball, and a 5K run.
Team Philadelphia’s Bill Soloway, at his second Transplant Games, picked up a bronze medal in cycling on the first day of the competition. It was a long time coming, he said. He came up short at the games two years ago, in hopes of getting a medal to give to the family of the man who gave him a heart.
“It was when I said I’m just going to go out there and have fun and not have that stress on my shoulders. And here it is, my first medal,” Soloway said.
