1/23

We grabbed this at our first Cyclocross World Championship, in 2011, and it’s hung in the DLE office ever since. That year, the event was held in Germany and the ground was so frigid—13F on race morning—the muddy tracks were frozen solid and the steaming gluhwein turned cold within minutes. Our client finished second, earning a hard-fought Silver, just 27 agonizing seconds from what would’ve been her first world Championship title.

There’s nothing quite like cyclocross—a race done on road bikes, across mud, sand, hills, and barriers—to the delight of tens of thousands of loud (and largely drunk) European fans.

Emphasis on might…

Presidents’ Day

Our favorite Oval Office moment in sports, actually came on the diamond.

Game 3 of the 2001 World Series, President George W. Bush threw out the opening pitch at Yankee Stadium. Bush wore a bulletproof vest and threw a couple warm-ups underneath the stadium. Before walking out, Jeter famously pulled 43 aside and said “Mr. President, whatever you do, don’t bounce it; this is Yankee Stadium, they’ll boo you.”

Bush walked to the mound to a standing ovation and threw a strike right down the middle. The crowd erupted and it marked a moment of unbreakable American pride, purpose, and unity.
