Why Frisco instead of Kenosha for Erin's Medal Ceremony?

[crit pro]

I'm happy to see that Erin Veenstra Mirabella was given a full award
ceremony for her Olympic Bronze in the Points Race.

The medal was delivered to her and husband while on vacation in
Colorado. Driven 145 miles by some USA Cycling lackey.

Now Frisco TX has decided to put on a full awards deal for her. That's
great, especially since that thief Calle from Colombia stole her
moment in Athens.

The question is why not have the awards at the velodrome in Kenosha?
That's the place that supported her through all the years. Seems kinda
wierd.

Anybody have insight on this?

Connard,

Maybe they thought it would be nice to have some people there to
see it. Kenosha closed for the season a couple of weeks ago.

Just a wild ass guess...

There were 35 spectators in the stands and about 30 cyclist in the infield.
She thanked everyone for coming. It was wonderful.

They should have done it in San Fran.

It was a waste to do here.

It could have been done at her home track with the correct PR people.
Racing wouldn't have mattered. School kids, media, etc....could have
all been invited. Think outside the box.

The young woman who works for USA Cycling is a hard worker and very decent
woman. She was going to be in Breckenridge anyway so it was arranged for
her to deliver the medal. The medal had only arrived in the US the day
(maybe 2) before it was delivered.
