Mike Crapo said "it is my honor today to extend congratulations to Picabo Street, the silver medalist winner in the women's downhill. Picabo comes from Triumph, ID, which is close to some of Idaho's greatest skiing in the Sun Valley area. She has shown the strength of will and the perseverance that it takes to become a silver medalist, announcing 10 years ago to her family that she was going to compete in the Olympics. Her success has made her a good role model for many young people who aspire to compete in the Olympics. On a personal note, I hope that maybe she can help me and my kids learn a little bit better how to get down those slopes in Sun Valley. Picabo has brought honor to Idaho and America and deserves our hearty congratulations." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
