Olympic Fever Reaches Malibu as Pepperdine University Alumnus Wins Silver Medal in Beijing!

Olympic Fever and Pride came to Malibu this summer as Olympic Silver Medal Winner Simon Aspelin’s victory was celebrated. The Pepperdine University Alumnus (he was an All-American Honors student each year he was at Pepperdine, betwen 1994 and 1997) he was a tennis star when at the university and played in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China.

The result was stunning and it was the best ever Olympic result by a Wave tennis player. Aspelin is however the second Olympian tennis player from Pepperdine, the first was Brad Gilbet who won a bronze medal in the 1998 Olympics during the mens singles competition.

Simon Aspelin ranked 9th in the world for doubles tennis and was part of the duo who won the 2007 US Open. An achievement in itself!

The community of Malibu is proud to see one of its own "up ther" in the Olympics.
