Tonight was incredible. Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, won another gold medal. Katie Ledecky, who hails from Bethesda and was born in Washington D.C., just won her second gold medal of the Rio Games. Phelps and Ledecky swam their way into history.
The Olympics are a great chance to celebrate our patriotism. Phelps and Ledecky are possibly the two greatest athletes of their sport. They represent the greatest country in the world and they are from our beloved state. Today is an especially proud day in Maryland.
The Orioles are also a great source of pride.
