It’s not everyday you get to hold an Olympic Gold Medal so you can imagine my excitement to see Reid’s medal from Beijing.  We had a great time at his house hearing all the awesome stories about Beijing and their journey to gold.

My first impression of the medal is that it’s heavy.  Reid was telling me that on the back side there is a ring of jade on the inside.  The design is beautiful and I was amazed at the detail.
