The Olympians of This Ground

2004–2020

The Olympic roll of this city, as the registers reached by this history carry it, is short and is printed whole. Skylar Diggins won basketball gold at Tokyo 2020 — the first South Bend native to win an Olympic gold medal in basketball, on the City Council's own recital; her entry stands above and her profile in Famous People. Mark Hazinski played table tennis at Athens 2004; his entry stands above. No other athlete born or formed in South Bend surfaced in the Olympic registers this history reached, and the entry prints at that size rather than reaching for more. One correction of a common filing belongs to the record: the swimmer Lindsay Benko, often shelved with this area's Olympians, is Elkhart's, on the Congressional Record's own account, and this history leaves her to Elkhart.
