ELYRIA, Ohio -- One city in Ohio is doing something they haven't done since 1924.
The city of Elyria, Ohio has a Olympic contender who'll compete in London.
Tianna Madison will compete in two track and field events and her hometown is all dressed in Team USA colors to send her off.
"Elyria loves Tianna, Elyria believes in Tianna, and supports Tianna and were routing for Tianna to bring back the gold," Joanna and Robert Madison said.
The city's mayor even declared the day as "Tianna Madison Day."
