                       Wednesday, March 24, 2010

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I proudly rise today to congratulate 
Jordan Malone of Denton, Texas. Jordan is one of our nation's athletes 
who competed in the XXI Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, 
Canada.
  Jordan, as a member of Team USA, helped the men's 5000m relay capture 
bronze in short track speed skating. The Vancouver Games was Jordan's 
Olympic debut, and the bronze he won for speed skating at Pacific 
Coliseum on the night of February 26, 2010, was his first Olympic 
medal.
  Jordan is a dedicated athlete who has accomplished great things in 
his career as a speed skater. Jordan is currently the only short track 
skater in the U.S. to compete in all five of the past World 
Championship events. He has won five gold medals, two silver medals, 
and eight bronze medals.
  Madam Speaker, it is with great honor that I rise today to celebrate 
the accomplishments of one of our nation's finest athletes, Jordan 
Malone. I am proud to represent such a dedicated athlete in the United 
States House of Representatives.
