Doesn’t he have the most perfect first name for an Olympic athlete? That said, Race Imboden is a fencer not a miler or a sprinter. But he’s our’s and we’re rooting for him as he competes for a an Olympic medal in the London Olympics, which start this weekend.

I can’t wait to spot him in the Opening Ceremonies on Friday night.

Today’s fun quote from Race is this. He’s talking about his English born mom, Fiona:

“She’s emotional about me competing. She’s always pacing back and forth in big rooms while I’m fencing,” he said. “But she has an assigned seat here, so we’ll see how that works.”

This quote is from an article is by Greg Wyshynski of Yahoo Sports. 

Also watch this cool video about Ryan by @radical media that I posted the other day.
