The most successful athlete in the history of the U.S. Olympic Festival added another gold medal to his collection.

Dante Muse, a roller skater from West Des Moines, Iowa, won the 500-meter quad race to raise his gold medal count for this festival to four. He has won 26 gold medals, and 39 overall, at festivals since 1985.

Robin Byrd-Goad of Sumner, Wash., capped the first day of weightlifting by breaking two of her American records.

Competing in the 110-pound class, she started things off by setting a festival record with a snatch lift of 176-1/4 pounds. Then she set an American record by lifting 214-3/4 in the clean-and-jerk, and her total of 391-1/4 was another American record. The previous marks were 209-1/4 and 385-3/4.
