                           HON. BRAD FINSTAD

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 14, 2026

  Mr. FINSTAD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Olympian and 
southern Minnesota native, Aidan Oldenburg, on his remarkable 
performance at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milano Cortina, Italy.
  Aidan started his curling career at age 10, growing as a competitor 
and athlete over the years. Growing up in Mapleton and graduating from 
Minnesota State University, Mankato, he truly represents the heart and 
talent within Minnesota's 1st Congressional District.
  Aidan and his team represented the United States on the world stage 
at both the World Championships last August and the Olympic games 
earlier this year. In his first Olympic appearance, Aidan helped the 
U.S. Men's Curling Team secure a fifth-place finish.
  Aidan's skill and determination have inspired us all. I congratulate 
him on his 2026 Olympic performance. His family, friends, teammates, 
and fellow southern Minnesotans could not be prouder of him.

                          ____________________
