MADISON, WI - Three-year-old Olivia Strama has a new heart and is showing that major surgery is not slowing her down as she is competing in a national competition.

The three year old received a heart transplant when she was just seven months old.

Yesterday, Olivia ran the 25-meter dash, and had some fun in the long jump sand pit as well.

More than 1,000 athletes filled the coliseum at the Alliant Energy Center Saturday evening in Madison for the opening ceremonies of the 2010 U.S. Transplant Games.

The transplant games wrap up today.
