Hearing impaired Motocross champion takes gold in X Games

From Dirt Rider Magazine:

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Returning defender Ashley Fiolek (pictured) revved up the field and the audience as she took the gold for the second year in a row in the Moto X Super X Women's Final at The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Last year, she made competition history as the first hearing-impaired medalist.

"Christmas came early this year!" said Fiolek. "This is a great way to get the weekend started, and now I can sit back and enjoy the rest of the X Games."

Silver and bronze came down to the last lap as Tarah Gieger and Sara Price were neck-and-neck the entire race. 2008 gold medalist Gieger edged out Price to take second place.

"I am surprised and excited to finish in the top three," Price said. "I didn't realize that I had medaled until my mechanic told me."
