Greg Randolph Olympics Scrapbook

by

This large blue scrapbook, filled to the brim with news clippings, magazine articles, and product endorsements, documents Greg Randolph’s cycling career and his participation in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Randolph, a native of McCall, Idaho, quickly rose to prominence after starting his cycling career in 1993, and was ultimately selected to the 1996 Olympic team to support Lance Armstrong in the road race. Randolph would ultimately place 74th in the race.

This album, assembled by his mother Nancy, includes a wide array of items including photographs, sponsored advertisements, letters to and from his family, academic achievements, and memorabilia such as racing bibs, Olympic tickets, and a miniature Team USA flag. A highlight of the album are the articles detailing his selection to the U.S. Olympic team. One article title reads, “McCall bike racer off to Atlanta Games: Selection to American team catches Randolph by surprise.” Though certainly on the up and up, Randolph’s selection was a surprise to most, including himself.

Another highlight of the scrapbook are the numerous product endorsements Randolph partook in following his Olympic participation. Pulled from the high-octane cycling magazines of the nineties, the bright, bold colors and dynamic poses of these advertisements are certainly a glimpse into the cycling scene of the time.

Greg Randolph has lived in the Wood River Valley since 2003. Photos, articles, and items from the scrapbook appear in the new foyer exhibit at The Community Library, Summer Games | Local Heroes, running through Labor Day 2024.

Breyer Horse

by

This Breyer model of the mare Brentina evokes the lesser known equestrian history of Olympic achievements in Sun Valley—an understated but impressive legacy.

The triumphant shades of blue, red, and yellow characterize the bold branding of the well-preserved packaging, and the chestnut Hanoverian model horse is frozen mid-trot against a rich, yellow-gold vignette in the box’s interior.

This limited edition model is owned by Adrienne Lyle, a local to Ketchum and accomplished dressage competitor on the global scale. She is widely considered “The First Lady of Dressage” for good reason. In addition to winning a silver medal for team dressage at the World Championships in 2018, Lyle competed in the 2012 and 2020 Olympic games, earning another silver medal in 2020 in team dressage.

On the underside of the model horse is dressage rider Debbie McDonald’s name signed in gold. Brentina was McDonald’s mount for her 1999 gold medals at the Pan American Games, for her 2002 and 2006 World Championship medals in team dressage (silver and bronze, respectively), and her bronze medal in team dressage at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. McDonald has lived in Hailey for over 40 years.

Alongside other pieces of local Olympic history, Breyer’s Brentina will be displayed in the foyer of The Community Library through Labor Day 2024, as part of our new Summer Games | Local Heroes exhibit showcasing summer Olympians who have a connection to the Valley.

From the Adrienne Lyle Collection, Wood River Museum of History and Culture.
