He was appointed Chef de Mission for the 2012 U.S. Olympic team, but resigned when it became known he had participated in anti-gay marriage demonstrations. Vidmar, who is Mormon, said he never tried to hide his beliefs, and noted in the press that “no one has ever accused me of insensitivity.”
Vidmar recently completed his first Ironman Triathlon, accompanying his oldest son, Tim, who is named after his 1984 teammate, NBC commentator Tim Daggett. (Daggett reciprocated by naming his oldest son Peter.) “That was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” Vidmar said of the Ironman. “It was brutal.

His daughter Emily will compete for BYU starting this fall.
