Champions Plaza sculpture to be unveiled

The unveiling of the Spirit of Competition bronze sculpture at Champions Plaza in South Lake Tahoe will take place Oct. 27 at noon.

On the heels of the 2014 Winter Olympics, in which several  local athletes earned Olympic medals, the idea of creating a Champions Plaza was born. To honor and recognize these athletes the City Council approved the construction and design of a Champions Plaza at Lakeview Commons.

The approximate 11-foot bronze sculpture which represents male and female athletes reaching for a ring is being created by Gareth Curtiss.

In the spring the athletes will be inducted.
