medalist in Kayaking, was born with a serious disability. He had club
feet, his toes pointed inward, and as result, he could no walk easily.
Even after a series of operations, he still had limited mobility. Even
so, Greg was never defeated. First, he taught himself to walk, and
even to run. Then he competed or his high school running team. He
knew, though, he would never become an Olympic runner, so he
looked for other sports that he could play. Happily, he discovered
Kayaking, a perfect sport for him because it requiried minimal leg
and foot muscles.
Using his upper body strengh, he was able to master the sport.
Finally, after many years of training and perseverance, Greg made
the 1984 Olympic team.

What is the concluding sentence? What does it do?

In short, even though that road was paved with Obstacles, he was
able to overcome them and achieve the impossible.
