Montgomery County Council president Gabe Albornoz ended his remarks during his weekly media briefing by acknowledging some of the athletes with Montgomery County ties that are participating in the ongoing Beijing Winter Olympics and Super Bowl LVI which will be played on Sunday.
After Albornoz made the remarks, Ashley Caldwell won the first-ever gold medal in Olympic mixed team aerials. Caldwell grew up in northern Virginia but was born in Montgomery Village. The gold medal win by Caldwell, Christopher Lillis and Justin Schoenefel was the first medal for the U.S. in freestyle skiing in 12 years.
