                HONORING MICHAEL SHUEY, OLYMPIC ATHLETE

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, last week the 2020 
Summer Olympics kicked off in Tokyo. For the next 2 weeks, we will see 
the best of the best compete in a variety of events.
  This year the United States sent a 613-member team to compete in the 
Olympic Games. The journey to these games and to be on the 2020 Olympic 
team is unlike any other. For the first time in Olympic history, the 
games were postponed from last summer due to COVID-19.
  Madam Speaker, Pennsylvania sent 21 athletes to Tokyo. But there is 
one member of the team I would like to honor today: Michael Shuey.
  Michael is an Elk County, Pennsylvania, native and a 2016 graduate of 
Pennsylvania State University. Michael is a two-time NCAA Big Ten 
champion in javelin and a two-time NCAA Big Ten first team member. 
While in Tokyo he will be competing in the javelin throw.
  Congratulations to Michael and to all the athletes on this incredible 
achievement. We are cheering for their success.
