On Friday, August 22nd, history was made. For the first time in Olympic history, BMX racing became an Olympic sport and with that came the first set of medalists. Among them was cousin Jill taking home the bronze. Jill's been racing since she was a kid and has won just about everything she can in both BMX and mountaincross, including world championships se
veral years in a row. Although she started out with BMX and switched to mountain cross, she switched back to BMX just last year to train for the Olympics with incredible determination, making her the only female on the BMX US Olympic team. Even with a blown out knee she conquered the obstacles and fought hard and we're so proud of her! Congratulations Jill! Here are some Olympic highlights:
