Nicole had the pleasure of interviewing a superstar in the Special Olympics world and in life, Lani DeMello. Since birth, she has defied odds and broken barriers. She is a WORLD CHAMPION Rhythmic Gymnast and ambassador for her sport. Nicole also chats with Lani's long-time coach and Special Olympics Representative to the USA Gymnastics Advisory Council, Cindy Bickman, who shares insight on how YOU can get involved with Special Olympics in your community. Nicole and Cindy surprise Lani with ZOOM appearances by her International friends, Klelia Pantazi & Annie Pantazi from Greece, who have combined medals from World Championships & the Olympics and were BOTH on Dancing with the Stars, and Special Olympics World Games Champion, Gizela Billikova, and her sister/coach, Maria Billikova from Slovakia.
