Tue, Jul 17, 2012 1:00 PM EDT - 2:15

World record breaking marathon runner Paula Radcliffe started walking at nine months and has run everywhere since, says her mum Pat. Despite phenomenal success in the athletic arena, an Olympic gold has always alluded the UK's best-known female athlete - but she will be doing in her power to rectify this in London.

The Procter & Gamble video series, "Raising an Olympian," will run through the London Games and profiles athletes, their dedicated efforts to make it to Olympic games, and the mothers who had tremendous impacts on their lives. Check out Team Mom on Yahoo! Shine all summer for additional "Raising an Olympian" segments.
