Atta girl!
It will take several years to get the grin off her face. Way to go Lydia.!!!!!!!

I assume this is of some importance to the area. Wish her well.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Rather impressive for a 17 year old from Alaska to win a gold medal in a swimming event.
I actually caught the race last night, they said in the entire state there is only one 50 meter pool.
Good for her.
Yep the only practice pool for her is about 120 miles from her home.
It's interesting they're calling this the first gold medal for Alaska. Nobody remembers Tommy Moe from Girdwood? He took gold in the Downhill at Lillehammer in 1994. Great guy.
Oh this is about the Olympics? I thought no one here was watching it.

Good for her. Go USA.
I saw that and the viewing party at the high school was even better.
