Capital Gold Medal

[Double R Bar]

Eddie Tolan, Jean Shiley, and Mel Pender were all born in U.S. capitals and so was this athlete. She won an Olympic gold medal and not on the track. The city in which she was born hosted the Olympic Games some 40 years after she won her gold medal. Who is our gold medalist today?

Very good EastBayprepoftheweek67. It is Millie McDaniel who won the Olympic high jump in Australia back in 1956. Forty years after her gold medal jump, Atlanta hosted the Olympic Games of 1996.
