Yesterday brought the eagerly anticipated result of the Walk Again Project: Juliano Pinto, a 29-year-old Brazilian who is paralyzed from the waist down, kicked the first ball of the 2014 World Cup football championship.

Pinto鈥檚 one small kick generated an enthusiastic response not only in the World Cup arena in S茫o Paulo, but also in the media around the world.
