At RADD, we are well aware of just how busy the auto dealership lifestyle is. Chances are you didn’t get a chance to watch every Olympic event this year.

Here’s what you missed

The United States has earned 30 metals and currently leads the world with a weighted total of 53, followed by France with 49 (home field advantage).

The method of tallying medals and creating scores is far from standardized, and there has been a bit of drama. A quick Google search will surely leave your head spinning…

Above is the breakdown of medals won by sport. Swimming is proving to be our dominant event this year, however few golds were earned (3 of 17 total). Our USA gold metal winners include:

US Gold Medalists

• Simone Biles and Team USA took home 🥇 in the women's gymnastics team final

• Torri Huske, Katie Ledecky, and The US Men’s Team each earned their 🥇 medals in swimming events

• Lee Kiefer parried her way to 🥇 in fencing 

There’s still plenty of events to be seen. Use the link below to access the events schedule and figure out when you can make time to watch

Thank you so much to the Jarrettsville Community for all your donations for @freshstartmd.ig on Saturday! Our Community filled 2 Box trucks filled to the brim, approximately 50 donors came by, and more said they would be contacting Fresh Start to make large furniture donations. This was the largest collection drive Fresh Start has ever done! #seeyaatthekeene #Jarrettsville #giveback

Last weekend, our team had a great time at the Annapolis Striders Endless Summer 6-Hour Run at Greenbury Point! 🏃

Paul LaRochelle aimed for an impressive 50k, a remarkable challenge for someone weighing in at 240lbs of pure muscle. He turned heads and inspired everyone as he steadily conquered mile after mile.

Megan Ressler used the race as a final long run to gear up for the Leadville Boom Days Pack Burro Race. She humored us with a smile for photos and we think she was having "fun" :) 🫏

Jon Mellinger joined in to pace Paul for half of his 50k journey. Bill Vickers, Brian Hetherington, and Alli LaRochelle also came out to support and pace Paul, ensuring he had great company throughout the race.

Fantastic job, team! 🎉

We are honored to be the "Triple Crown Winner" of Car Dealerships! 🏆

Our teams all across the Jones Junction campus are thankful to be able to serve our community and we look forward to continuing to for many years to come! 🤩
