It takes decades of sacrifice and self-discipline to win gold at an Olympic Games.
While Brisbane 2032 might seem like a lifetime away, the journey is already beginning for those hoping to win medals in front of a home crowd.

because it feels so good to have such a beautiful home. reporter: all of this was made possible through volunteers and funding from a faith-based group called project homecoming. and to commemorate this anniversary, other groups hosting a 48-hour home build across the city. volunteers working six hours, rotating shifts through the st. bernard project to build 48 homes in 48 hours. translating into another 48 families who will soon have a new roof over their heads. the one thing georgia johnson tells me she is most looking forward to about getting into her house, sitting on her new porch with a cup of coffee and reuniting with her neighbors. julie? kasey steagall, thank you. meteorologist janis dean and i were on the air together as hurricane katrina devastated the gulf coast. that was ten years ago.
