Puerto Rico's First Ever Gold

Most people had probably never heard of Monica Puig before Rio, but this Puerto Rican tennis player changed history by winning Puerto Rico's first Olympic gold medal. She won in the women's singles tennis.

Olympics of Breaking Records

The Rio games saw an astonishing 65 Olympic and 19 world records broken. One of the most notable moments was when South Africa's Wayde van Nierkerk broke the men's 400m record which was set by American Michael Johnson 17 years ago. Johnson's time was 43.18 seconds whereas Nierkerk's time was 43.03 seconds.

Michael Phelps Hits 28 Medals

It was no surprise that Michael Phelps added 6 more medals to his massive collection, but 28 total medals is simply unprecedented. He was already the most successful Olympian of all time before Rio, and now he has truly solidified his name in Olympic history.

Simone Biles Becomes a Household Name

While everyone knew who Phelps was, few people knew much about Simone Biles until just before the Rio Games began. The US artistic gymnast had a large social media following and was expected to do very well. However, no one expected her to take home 5 medals (four golds and one bronze) in her very first Olympic Games. She's now earned a place among the greatest names in her sport.

The 2016 Rio Olympic Games will definitely go down in the history books. If you would like to learn more about the master-planned community of Trinity Falls in McKinney, TX, explore our website or contact us today!
