I curled in the National Champioships in Ogden,UT in 2000. The winner of the championship was the next Olympic team. We actually did very well in the first round and were one of the top teams (16 teams in two brackets, we were 5-2). In the first game of the second round we lost a heartbreaker to the prior Olympic team in an extra end. The thing I remember most was that a local school was let into the arena and was sitting in the upper deck watching the match. A few kids started throwing M&Ms onto the ice. The pieces were too big to affect the rocks but it was a funny scene.

Since we did win a bronze, and 10th place, in Star we did okay. I have met one of the medalists, Peter Dean from Mass. The best yachtsmen on that 1972team sailed out of Wisconsin.

Can't remember if it was 1986 or 87. I won the State tournament at 165lbs. in boxing for the Junior Olympics. Back then it was like a qualifier to try out for the Olympic team and if you placed high enough you could fight internationally.

Sounds like you are speaking of Buddy Melges. I live not far from him in Southern Wisconsin and go past the small "factory" on occasion in a VERY small town here. It is so small the post office used to be someone's front porch.

You were probably assuming the Olympic record book had a 'blank name' for the silver medal winner.

There have been several sports where, if I had won a whole lot more competitions, I could eventually have become an Olympian. The farthest stretch for me would be 7th grade intramural basketball, where I was a sub. The closest would be....well, I guess that might also be the closest.
I have beaten two U.S. Olympic marathoners in 10K road races, but one was running with his son and the other was leading a pace group. I was also in a Miller Lite commercial which might have aired in Des Moines, but if the hot chicks who were also in the commercial had not laughed when I said "less filling" it could have aired during the Olympics. (just trying to go with the evolving theme).
