At the 2016 Summer Olympics, 11 athletes from the state of Maryland combined to win or help their teams win 18 medals.
Woodbine, Md., native turned wrestling gold medalist Kyle Snyder had to wait the longest of the group to compete in Rio de Janeiro, not getting on a mat until Aug. 21, the final day of the Olympiad. But he was proud to help bring home one of the 14 gold medals Marylanders claimed, and he even channeled the movie "Wedding Crashers" to describe his excitement.
"Crabcakes and gold medals," Snyder said on Glenn Clark Radio Aug. 31.
Of course, if you've seen the movie, the line "crabcakes and football" is followed up by the phrase "that's what Maryland does," making Snyder's alteration all the more appropriate.
