Nice.
Are you a big guy or is she just a tiny thing?

Congrats to the young lady.
I work or have worked with a few Olympians who medaled - fencing, diving, and running. And, I have a gold-silver-bronze set of medals from the 1932 games held in LA - my grandmother was very involved. |

Great job, but I bet you won't see Jamie or Kim Rhode invited for pictures with Bam Bam at the White House.
