News of Simone Biles stepping back from competition in Tokyo took many by surprise. But other Olympians are offering their support and empathy, including 4-time curling competitor and gold medalist, John Shuster. For someone to have that much awareness, and being someone who is the best in the world, that was pretty impressive, he said. It was a huge team move, besides a personal one.
He recalled feeling the weight of his country on his shoulders during the games. He s been to four of them, bringing the gold home in 2018.
Olympians from the Northland weigh in on the pressures of being an athlete.
As the wheels turn
OHVs banned, then unbanned, from Silverton s streets
A sign indicating the OHV route in the town of Silverton may become a moot point later this year. After many twists and turns, the subject of banning OHVs from the town s streets will go to a vote later this year. A separate vote would ask residents whether they want to allow OHVs on just the town s current designated route or everywhere. It s unclear how the two competing votes would impact one another. / Photo by Jonathan Romeo Jonathan Romeo - 06/10/2021
After a seven-year experiment, Silverton is grappling in a serious way with whether to allow off-highway vehicles within town limits.
The curtain fell Monday afternoon on the 2021 Miami Valley Raceway season. Leading driver Dan Noble and leading trainer Ron Burke were congratulated in the winner’s circle immediately after the pair combined to win a $50,000 Ohio Sires Stakes race with Heart Of Chewbacca.
Noble won 160 races during the 86-day meet to top Brett Miller, Trace Tetrick, Tyler Smith and Chris Page in the standings. All five won over 120 races, and all five racked up purse earnings over $1.2 million. Burke recorded 54 wins to edge Tyler George, Virgil Morgan, Jr. and Christi Noble. All four managed stables that earned over $400,000 during the meet.
