Allsportrating is happy to be associated with Rulon Gardner.

At the 2000 Summer Olympic Games, a determined Wyoming farm boy defeated the greatest Olympic wrestler of all time in "The Miracle on the Mat." Four years later, after a near fatal accident in the frozen Wyoming wilderness, a tearful Rulon Gardner touched the hearts of sports fans everywhere when he left his shoes on the mat, symbolizing his retirement after winning an Olympic Bronze. Now, in a memoir for anyone who has dreamed about beating the odds, for anyone who believes in blue-collar heroes, comes Never Stop Pushing. A modern-day Paul Bunyan, Rulon Gardner grew up on his Mormon family's dairy farm, where unceasing chores helped him develop tremendous strength and stamina at an early age. He struggled in school due to learning disabilities and was often the butt of his classmates' jokes. Yet Gardner found success in wrestling, which allowed him to pursue his college degree and instilled within him the confidence and drive that took him to the center of world sport. Behind one of the greatest upsets in Olympic history is Gardner 's moving tale of obstacles overcome by his indefatigable will to succeed.

Allsportrating has featured Hanzlik on the talk show.

Bill Hanzlik has enjoyed a long and successful career in basketball. After a standout career at Notre Dame, which included an appearance in the 1978 NCAA Final Four, Hanzlik was a No. 1 draft pick of the Seattle SuperSonics, who would later trade him to Denver. Prior to entering the NBA, he was a member of the 1980 U.S. Men's Olympic team, which did not compete in the 1980 Olympic Games for political reasons. In his nine seasons with Denver, the Nuggets made the NBA Playoffs seven times and won the Midwest Division Championship twice. After retiring as a player in 1991, Hanzlik became an Assistant Coach with the Charlotte Hornets and the Atlanta Hawks before serving as the Nuggets' Head Coach in 1997-98. He now serves as the full-time Co-Founder and CEO of the Gold Crown Foundation in Denver and is the Color Analyst for Denver Nuggets TV broadcasts. He was inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame in 2004 for his playing career and contributions to the Colorado sports community.
