SALT LAKE CITY -- O.C. Tanner presented two local Olympians with Vancouver 2010 rings Friday morning.

Noelle Pikus-Pace, from Orem, took fourth in the skeleton competition. Jeret Peterson, originally from Boise but now living in Park City, won a silver medal for aerial skiing.

The rings show appreciation for the dedication and hard work it takes to become an Olympian. They are the first team rings from O.C. Tanner.

"For me this just wasn't my dream, it was my family's dream," Pikus-Pace said, "and my husband has been right by my side since the day I decided to compete."

He spent hours building her competition sled. She surprised her husband with the O.C. Tanner Inspiration Award ring for his support.
