Six South Florida Olympians received a key to Miami-Dade County in a Wednesday ceremony.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and commissioners honored some of Team USA’s finest at the Stephen P. Clark Center.
Among the athletes honored was Bam Adebayo, who won a gold medal in men’s basketball.
“It’s just a great moment for me, being able to represent this city… Not only this city but the community and the country. It’s a great honor,” the Miami Heat center-forward said.
Also honored were Daniella Ramirez, who brought home a silver medal in the artistic swimming team event; Twanisha “Tee Tee” Terry, who won gold in the women’s track and field in the 4x100m relay; water polo goalie Ashleigh Johnson; Sarah Newberry Moore; and Judoka Angelica Delgado.
Adebayo, Terry, Ramirez and Moore said they’re not stopping now. They have their eyes set on Los Angeles 2028.
