		Lance Armstrong may just be the most courageous athlete of our time, and his story has “made-for-TV movie” written all over it.
		Born in 1971 in a small town outside of Texas, Lance began competing in triathlons at an early age, but quickly discovered that the cycling aspect of the race was his strongest suit, even garnering attention from the national cycling team while he was still finishing high school.
		Lance proved to the skeptics that he still had what it took to be a contender with a series of minor victories, but it was at the 1999 Tour de France where he made the leap from recovering cancer patient to international cycling sensation.
