Deadheaded on airbus from IAD-LAX this week. Sitting in exit row noticed the girl next to me was wearing a USA olympic team shirt. Flight attendant made PA announcement that "we have a 5 time gold medal olympian on board". Turns out she was the girl who won the gold for skeet shooting. Passenger sitting on other side of me actually made the comment, "why isn't she in 1st class?" At the gate in LA she took pictures with several passengers and let the little kids wear her gold medal. Total class act.
