2014 Sochi Olympic Team
A quick recap of the races...The first two races started a bit shaky for the twins. Lanny fell ill and only raced one of the first two races and finished 42nd with 90% shooting. Tracy had a bad fall in the first race after she was tripped up on a downhill by another competitor and she managed to pack her gun sight full of snow when she did a face plant. At the range she spent well over a minute trying to get the snow out of her sight so she could see. She managed to hit all of her targets for the day but had a disappointing result. The second weekend of racing was much better. Tracy placed 26th in the Individual race with 2 penalties out of 20 shots and had a spectacular sprint race finishing 10th with clean shooting. Lanny wasn't able to race the second weekend because she was really quite ill.
Yesterday I (Tracy) was named to the Olympic Team! I cannot think of any greater honor in the world, save one… Lanny fell ill during the trials and was unable to race enough of the races she needed to qualify for the Olympic Team. She is having a stellar year and I for one want to see where she can take it…what heights she can climb to. So, in honor of friendship, cooperation, and sacrifice I declined my spot on the Olympic Team. This freed up a spot so that Lanny could be named to the team. Please help me in cheering her on in Sochi. I know she is destined for great things at the games. Citius, Altius, Fortius
A huge thanks to all of you for supporting us on this journey. Sochi is just 25 days away and it's likely to be one hell of a good show!
