This summer at the Paris Olympics, Olivia Reeves won the first gold medal in weightlifting for the United States in 24 years.

Olivia - now a senior here on our campus, the University of Tennessee of Chattanooga - was honored with a parade through campus and received the keys to this city.

I had the chance to speak with her last month.
