Stives qualified for the 1980 U.S. Olympic team but did not compete due to the U.S. Olympic Committee's boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, Russia. She was one of 461 athletes to receive a Congressional Gold Medal instead.[3] At the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, Stives anchored the United States team that received a gold medal in Team eventing, and also an individual silver medal.[2][4]
