OT- Are There Any Other Olympic Athletes on the Board?

Very cool Frank, did you participate in the Olympics or just the trials?

I have a Junior Olympic Gold Medal in boxing, would be considered the same as trials. Never made it past the trials.

I lost the 1948 Gold Medal for Town Planning to Yrjo Lindegren.

Varkaus, Finland. Please. Anyone can design a town in a pristine environment. Try Town planning Irvington, NJ. Now there's an achievement.

And in case you don't believe me ... Yes, they awarded a gold medal for town planning (among other interesting categories)in 1948:

In 4th grade I won 5 out of 6 athletic competitions our class had.

I competed in the 2000 US curling Olympic trials in Utah at Weber State. We had a 5-2 record in the first round, and lost to the prior US Olympic team in an extra end in the second round.
