On his first international tournament, in the toughest tournament in the world, he brings back the gold medal. Get up, what a boy. What a boy!”
Then he praised his nephew’s work ethic and credited his faith for the tournament run, saying, “You know, I prayed to God every time for the victory for Shane, and he delivered every single time. So thank you to God and thank you to Jesus for giving Shane the victories. Unbelievable. What a boy. He deserves it.”
