                       Monday, September 24, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Chris Mazdzer, 
who made history at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeong Chang.
  Hailing from our very own Saranac Lake, New York, Chris is an 
American Olympian sensation. Chris made his debut in the 2010 Winter 
Olympics in Vancouver and then again in the 2014 Sochi games, where 
both times he finished 13th in men's singles luge. But it was not until 
2018 that Chris made history and finished with an incredible silver 
medal win, Team USA's first ever medal in that event. Chris trained 
tirelessly at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, and I know he 
has inspired the next generation of athletes from across our region.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District, I am proud to congratulate 
Chris Mazdzer for his well-earned silver medal, and honor him for 
showing the world just what the North Country has to offer.
