린지본 미국의 희망, 누구인가?

 

And downhill racer. She’s been called the face of these Olympic Games for the US team. She’s injured, but says she’s ready tonight. The competitor Lindsey Van. Nightly News begins now. The American skier Lindsey Van is carrying a lot of hopes and dreams along with her down the snow. But she is injured. We will soon find out how badly injured, though. She says she is ready and she has been preparing for these games after all just about as along as she’s been alive.

 

One sports writer called her the face of the Vancouver Olympics. What Michael Phelps was to the summer games, Lindsey Van could be on snow. “I really hope these games would be one of my dreams come true because I had given everything. I’ve given my entire life for this sport.” She’ll be racing with a painful shin injury, but it won’t be the first time she’s fought through injuries. At the last winter Olympics, she crashed hard during downhill training and was rushed to a hospital by helicopter.

She was bruised and in pain, but on sheer순수한  tenacity강인함, she got back on her skis racing just 48 hours later and finishing in the top 10.

 

Lindsey Van started small as a little kid on a hill in Minnesota, so diminutive아주 작은 the locals called it the bump. Her father Allen Kilda was a former ski racer. He had her on skis at the age of three and bribed her with sprinkled doughnuts and hot chocolate at the end of a successful run. “Go on, Lindsey. I win. You won.” By the second grade, her mother said Lindsey had it pretty much figured out. “She wrote that she wanted to win more gold medals than anyone has ever won before.

And that was at seven years old.”

 

Her childhood idol was Olympic gold medalist Picabo Street who actually remembers the day Lindsey Van stood in line to meet her. “I thought to myself. This is who I want to meet. I want to be just like Picabo Street.” “When it gets tough for you, injury, challenge, bad run, who is it? Who’s over your shoulder? Who’s in your head?” “My husband. He is….. If I’m stressed, if I’m nervous, if I doubt myself, he’s always the one there making things more real.” Her husband is Thomas Van. A former US ski racer, now her coach. And when the pressure gets high, they use humor to keep the mood light. And now comes the publicity for Lindsey Van who right now seems to be everywhere. But for Lindsey Van, at the end of the day and at these games, it’s all about getting out on the snow.
