Did you know that the DMV is also a hot bed for Olympic hopeful swimmers?
Locally – we have fantastic young talent. Dedicated swimmers; all breaking records for speed.
One of the up and coming hopefuls is a young woman who we all know named Katie Ledecky. She is the niece of a friend of ours named Jon Ledecky.
We are all proud of her hard work and aspirations.

Even Michael Phelps’s mom thought he had finished in second place and would win a silver medal. That was an amazing finish to a race. I still can’t believe that he out-touched Milo Cavic to win the gold and tie Mark Spitz as the only two Olympians to win seven gold medals at a single Olympics.
Truly an inspiring effort, Michael Phelps is now historic. He is one of a kind. One more win and he will doubly stand alone in history for the most gold medals ever and most gold medals at one Olympics. Wow. Mind-blowing!
Don’t talk the talk if you can’t walk the walk…
That was great theater last night. Wow. What a great relay and a great performance by the Americans. And Michael Phelps’s quest for eight gold medals is still alive and NBC breathes a great sigh of relief. That was fun and worth staying up for last night!
