Congratulations Mary Hetzel, Gold Medalist of Lafayette, CO!Mary is Phenomenal! She is probably (and we have to check the record books) the ONLY Colorado athlete who has won a gold medal in every Gay Games she has attended. Mary is a power lifter and has competed in every Gay Games, except the 2nd one in 1986 in SF. The finals came down to Mary and a German lifter, and Mary pulled it through..WOW ! And her partner, Terry, a tennis player could also not believe her eyes either. Gal Power Rocks!
Allison, originally from NY, has won a medal in every games she has attended in the last 10 years. She is a long distance runner and this is the silver medal in the 10K for her age group. She now lives in Berlin and according to our fab friends, Nana and Susanne..her German language is PERFECT ! (As someone who can barely say schneitzel..I am so jealous..)Wow..what a fun match we watched yesterday with the women’s soccer team all the way from Soweto, South Africa versus the tough Germans of Team Berlin. Back and forth Berlin scored and although they had many good tries..but that was the final score. Vuvusulas blaring…
And to end the day…good food and great company in the Cologne City Center and then music and a walk around the Woman’s space…It is living the Gay Games Dream…..
