SLC group receives 500 youth helmets from pizza icon ADAM SPENCER The Park Record John Schnatter, founder of Papa John’s Pizza, enjoys coming to Park City. He has raced in the Deer Valley Celebrity Skifest before and is also a regular attendee of the Tour of Utah. On Sunday, at Stage 7 of the bicycle race, Schnatter was on hand to watch Lachlan Morton claim the yellow winner’s jersey. In conjunction with his trip to this year’s race, Schnatter donated 500 youth bike helmets to Bicycle Collective in Salt Lake City. “We gave 500 helmets away to the kids,” he said. “Every kid should be able to ride a bike. They’re nice helmets and, from what I’ve heard, the kids are really excited.” Davey Davis, the executive director of Bicycle Collective, said the donation will make a big difference for the organization. “We promote cycling as a sustainable form of transportation,” he said. “The fact that these guys were willing to give us really cool helmets for our kids’ programs means those kids will be safe and really excited to ride a bike. It’s really rare to be able to provide those kinds of resources, so we feel really grateful. We’re excited to get more kids on bikes.” Davis added that helmets are important for the safety and confidence of young riders. “It’s a huge deal to have a well-fitting, safe helmet,” he said. “It allows the kids to ride with confidence. Most kids don’t hit their heads, but the fact that they’re safe and they have the right gear means they can grow as riders and rely on their bikes more.” Schnatter said he was a late convert to the sport of cycling and wants to help kids get into the sport at a young age. “As I got older, it was too hard on the knees to keep running,” he said. “I took up cycling about 12 years ago and fell in love with it. If you’re in Park City and Deer Valley, it’s a great place to bike and stay fit.” As a cycling fan, he said he felt a desire to give back to the sport. “My job as CEO of Papa John’s is to make other people’s lives better, whether it’s my employees, my suppliers, my franchisees or my communities,” he said. “This is kind of like my second home, so we got involved with Steve Miller [of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies that sponsors the Tour of Utah] and we’ve had a ball with it.” Though Schnatter enjoyed a bird’s-eye view of the race from his helicopter, he said being down on the street for Sunday’s Park City start was something he enjoyed. “It’s the people,” he said. “People here are kind and gracious. It’s a great community and it’s a lot of fun.” For more information on the Bicycle Collective, visit www. bicyclecollective.org. in college sports around the country. Many competing in the Olympics are either in, or about to become part of, the third generation of women to compete at the college level since the law was passed. “We got a great head start in the U.S. because of the support they had in their schools and their colleges growing up,” said Scott Blackmun, CEO of the U.S. Olympic Committee. “You look at 10, 15 years after the passage of Title IX, how great an impact that started having. You combine it with the collegiate structure we have and that helps define the success.” No women’s sport has become more high profile than basketball since Title IX. The U.S. has won six of seven gold medals since 1984 – about the time the true impact of the law started being felt. Another win this year would strike a poignant note in the wake of the recent passing of Pat Summitt, the longtime Tennessee coach who pioneered the surge in women’s hoops over decades. “I look at the younger generation of women’s basketball players and there is such a tremendous boat load of talent from, say, 10 years ago,” said Geno Auriemma of UConn, who is coaching the U.S. team. He said Title IX led to the full funding of college sports across the board, which has led to the U.S. catching up in a few sports, like volleyball, and dominating in others. “We’ve talked about water polo, and how much we’ve had players before us pioneer our sport,” said Maggie Steffens of the defending-champion U.S. team. “Women’s water polo wasn’t even in the Olympics until 2000. And we had women who, in ‘76 and the `80s and `90s, dreamed of being in the Olympics and never got that opportunity, but made sure it happened for us. We want to make sure we do the best we can to represent those women.” Women’s soccer has enjoyed far more success than the men’s game in the United States. The men didn’t qualify for the Olympics. The women are fa- vored to win gold for the fifth time since they were brought onto the Olympic program in 1996. On Saturday, Solo became the first goalkeeper to appear in 200 games in international play. Medal-contending women fill the U.S. roster – young and old and in sports ranging from archery to weightlifting. At 16, hurdler Sydney McLaughlin will be the youngest to compete for the U.S. Olympic track team since 1972. At 30, Natasha Hastings is making her second Olympic appearance and could factor into the 400-meter mix, as well as the relay team. Though plenty of amazing women have run for the U.S. over the years, when Hastings looks for inspiration, she has plenty of choices. Hers happens to be a tennis player. “Serena Williams is my sports female hero,” Hastings said. “I’ve watched her and her sister play tennis since they were 12 or 13 and just change the game. What they’ve done for women’s sports, to me, is just amazing.” Women lead the way for Team USA U.S. team consists of a record 292 women in Rio EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer RIO DE JANEIRO – Serena. Simone. Solo. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that some of the bestrecognized names on the U.S. Olympic team belong to women. The Americans brought 292 women to Rio de Janeiro, an Olympic record for a single country. Their first gold medal of the games – won Saturday by a woman, of course: Ginny Thrasher in shooting. Reporters from The Associated Press predicted the United States would capture 128 medals – 69 by women and 59 by men. This is the second straight Summer Games in which women have outnumbered men on Team USA. But when the number reached 292 for this Olympics, the Americans had a record. It was three more than China entered into the Beijing Games eight years ago. It’s a surge that has peaked this decade, now 44 years since the passage of Title IX, the law that opened doors for women The Get info, scores, play-by-play updates for Park City, North and South Summit high schools.
