MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The celebrations continue for Minnesota’s Olympians who have returned home.
Saturday was Grace McCallum Day in Isanti.
“I think it’s crazy, I would have never thought I’d have a day named after me in my city, my hometown,” McCallum said. “It feels really cool. I love seeing all the support I have back home. My parents will send me pictures or just family or people that I know around here, they send me pictures. I think it’s so cool to have so much support.”

“You knew from the moment she walked through the door she had a load of talent, she was built for it and had the energy for it,” McCallum’s first coach, Rockie Ramacher, said.
The Minnesota native won a silver medal in Tokyo as part of the women’s gymnastics team. Her town welcomed her with a parade and celebration downtown. McCallum says she plans to go to college for a year and then decide if she is going to try to compete again at the Paris Olympics in three years.
McCallum’s teammate, Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee, will be honored in her hometown Sunday. St. Paul is hosting a parade to celebrate Lee’s historic accomplishments. It begins at 3 p.m. and will run along White Bear Avenue from Arlington Avenue to Aldrich Arena.
