JR Salzman (and his wonderful wife, Josie) will be the focus of an ESPN's "E:60" tonight at 7PM Easter/6PM Central:

“COMING HOME”

J.R. Salzman is a household name in the close-knit world of logrolling, a sport where he has won five world titles.  But in 2003, still shaken by the events of 9/11, Salzman made a life-altering choice, joining the National Guard.  His unit deployed to Iraq in March 2006. That December, as the unit patrolled in Humvees outside Baghdad, J.R. was struck by an improvised explosive device.  He lost his right arm and would ultimately undergo five surgeries.  E:60 correspondent Rachel Nichols follows J.R. through his recovery at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and back to his home state of Wisconsin, where he attempts to restore normalcy to his life and return to the sport that is his first love.

 

About E:60

E:60 is ESPN’s first multi-subject, prime-time newsmagazine program offering a combination of investigative features, profiles of intriguing sports personalities, and cutting-edge stories on innovation in the sports world, including emerging sports and new technology. The series focuses on life stories that relate or have a basis in sports, melding its stories with a glimpse of the reporters’ experiences – discussing the story idea with producers, creating storylines and shooting the interviews. The show is produced and aired in high definition, a first for the newsmagazine genre. By turning the camera on the reporters, the program gives the viewer a unique behind-the-scenes look at television storytelling.

This week's broadcast of "E:60" will also focus on "the Lost Boys" (of the Sudan) and Mixed Martial Arts competitions.
