The history behind the tradition of Olympians appearing on Wheaties boxes

It's the extra honor bestowed on many Olympic athletes: after you win gold, you may end up on a box of Wheaties. Here's how the tradition began and why it's being celebrated this year.
Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" co-hosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs.
