August 21, 2008

BEIJING, China --

For as long as he can remember, Tyler Duckworth (pictured, above right) has been an Olympics fanatic.

But in his 26 years on earth, he had never attended the Games. That is, until Beijing in 2008 --- when his personal Olympic dreams finally came true.

Most folks know Tyler from his time as one of the housemates on MTV’s “The Real World: Key West,” (which shot in 2005 and aired in 2006) and while he’s been recognized regularly in China, “The Real World” is an experience that he’s now put far behind him.
