I accidentally sent to Phil twice. So I actually have two successes from him. Phil won Gold with partner Todd Rogers in Beijing. In London however, they could not repeat being upset by Italians Daniele Lupo and Paolo Nicolai.


Thanks Phil.

Another success that came in a while back was from Mary Whipple. I love how she signed it with the gold pen. Mary is a three time Olympian, competing in Athens, Beijing and London. She took Silver in Athens, and Gold in both 2010 and 2012.


Thanks Marry.

Jonathan Horton - 80

Moving right along. The next return is from Jonathan Horton. Mr. Horton is a two time Olympic medalist. He won both in Beijing, Bronze in the team event and Silver in the Horizontal bar. In London, however he wasn't able to defend his medals. He placed 5th in team competition, and 6th in the high bar individual event final.


Thanks Jonathan.

TTM: Evelyn Stevens


Evelyn Stevens - 96

Third "catch-up" success post, is of Evelyn Stevens. Ms Stevens went from working for a New York investment firm, to competing in the Olympics for the U.S. After graduating in 2005, she went to work for Lehman Brothers. According to her website, "She attended her first bike clinic in Central Park in the spring of 2008.  With the financial industry in a state of panic, Evie calmly won her first professional race in Union Vale, NY.  A year later, she said goodbye to New York and embarked upon a career as a professional cyclist."

She placed 24th in her first Olympics in London and is driving to compete again in 2016.


Thanks Evelyn.

Picking up right where we left off. Our next return to post is from Kellie Wells. Ms Wells did well in the 2008 Olympic trials for Beijing, She won her heat, and the quarterfinal. In the semi-final she recorded a personal best, but was injured and was unable to compete in the final. She was able to come back for London. She made the games, and took home Bronze.


Thanks Kallie.
