Sports History

American Olympic history has been made, and we’re still 22 days from the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Turin. For the first time a competitor has been named to the U.S. Olympic Team for two different sports in the same Winter Games.

Sarah Konrad has been named to both the United States cross country skiing team and the United States biathlon team. Never before has a U.S. athlete had this distinction.

It is also interesting to note that, at age 38, Konrad will be the oldest female member of the United States Olympic team.

Regardless of how Konrad finishes in each of her events at the 20th Winter Games, she has made U.S. sporting history.
