A golden moment

One surprise at the auto show was the presence of Olympic gold and silver medalist (Nordic skiing) Billy Demong. He had his medals on display and was very gracious about letting us photograph, and hold them. (They are heavy!!)

  4. That must have been fun. Is he sponsored by one of the automobile makers? This is a great presentation of the medal and the Olympian's photo. It's neat how the different Olympics design different medals. This one looks like it has melted...

  10. Billy who? Did you feel inclined to run after holding the medals?

    Your photo was very well composed. I like the medals with the flyers. It speaks volumes, even though I don't know the names of Olympic athletes.
