                      TRIBUTE TO KRISTIN ARMSTRONG

 Mr. CRAPO. Mr. President, my colleague Senator Jim Risch joins 
me today in congratulating fellow Idahoan Kristin Armstrong on winning 
the gold medal in cycling at the XXXI Olympic Summer Games in Rio de 
Janeiro, Brazil.
  Kristin Armstrong, of Boise, ID, represented our State and Nation 
with distinction, winning an unprecedented third straight gold medal in 
the Olympic cycling individual time trial. This gold is another 
achievement in her remarkable cycling career. She also took home the 
gold in the 2012 Olympics in London and the 2008 Olympics in Beijing 
after competing in the 2004 Olympics in Athens. In addition to her 
Olympic and many other successes, Kristin has earned two gold, a 
silver, and a bronze medals in world championship competitions.
  Kristin inspires countless others to push beyond the limits of what 
is thought possible. We join with her husband, Joe; son, Lucas; their 
many friends and loved ones; and fellow Idahoans and Americans in 
celebrating the hard work and dedication that paid off in Rio. 
Congratulations, Kristin, on bringing home the gold yet again. We wish 
you continued success in all of your future challenges.
