If you are wondering how to listen to the Olympics, iHeartRadio has you covered. iHeartRadio is the exclusive audio home of NBC's coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics, so it is the only place to listen to the Olympics stream. The free iHeart app is where to go to listen to exclusive play-by-play action of Team USA. To celebrate, we are spotlighting some of the country's athletes that are vying for gold.
US Olympic athlete Roscoe Hill, 29, from Springs, Texas, is making his mark in the boxing world. Hill's boxing roots run deep, with a father who trained alongside boxing legends George Foreman and Archie Moore. Now, Hill is focused on creating his own legacy in the sport.
Hill's journey to the top has been marked by hard work and dedication. He secured his place in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after a successful performance at the Second 2024 Olympic Games World Qualifying Tournament in Bangkok, Thailand. He also won silver at the 2021 Elite World Championships and bronze at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago.
Hill's boxing style is unique and self-developed, described as "mesmerizing" by Team USA. He credits his father for teaching him the basics of boxing and the importance of the jab, which he still uses to this day.
Hill's connection to boxing greats extends beyond his father's training partners. He grew up training in George Foreman's gym and was even baptized by Foreman, who has become a preacher in his later years. Hill was inspired by Foreman's work in the gym and the local community, and he aspires to make a similar impact.
Hill's Olympic ambitions don't stop with the upcoming Games in France. He sees the Olympics as a stepping stone in his journey, and he is determined to make his mark on the world stage. He is aiming to medal at Paris 2024, a feat that would fulfill a dream shared by his father and brother.
