The Full Story
MEET THE LEGEND
I KNOW BOTH HOW TO BE ABASED, AND I KNOW HOW TO ABOUND: EVERYWHERE AND IN ALL THINGS I AM INSTRUCTED BOTH TO BE FULL AND TO BE HUNGRY, BOTH TO ABOUND AND TO SUFFER NEED.
I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHICH STRENGHENTH ME.

In Memory
Chuck Vinci passed away on June 13, 2018, at the age of 85. The lifting platforms fell silent for a moment that day. Tributes poured in from Olympians, coaches, and fans across the globe. They remembered not just the medals, but the fire in his eyes, the precision of his form, and the courage it took for a young man of humble means to stand among giants—and beat them.
