It's official. Chris has won the individual GOLD Medal and Lauren won the SILVER. In a nail biting ending, Lauren led the competition right up until Chris came through with his freestyle and won the overall competition.

Chris scored a 72.1% today for an average of 70.725% and Lauren scored a 71.3% for an average of 69.925%. Kate placed 5th with a score of 69.0% with an average of 67.675%.

Congratulations to Team USA. These are the 1st individual medals for the USA since 1999!

If there is anything more of note to report, I will. But this is the last official "Notes from Rio". Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed doing it. When the Team gets back and they send me the videos of the rides, I'll get them all posted on YouTube.com. Then you'll be able to see our Team USA in action!

That's all for now. And thanks for all the email I have received supporting the team. I know how much they appreciated it!

Cordially,

Judy and Al Guden
