Grandma Luge (most consecutive female winter Olympian) on the podium in Igls, Austria. She showed true sportsmanship when she was kind enough to share her cabin in Lillehammer and give me rides in her car. I cooked for her while she sang and played guitar. Awesome person from Virgin Islands! Nike couldn't have found a better representative. |
