Russian cross-country skiers Irina Khazova and Natalia Korosteleva insist the team sprint bronze they have already won will help boost the defending Winter Olympic champions in Thursday's relay.
As the pilot for the USA-1 bobsled, I broke a 62-year gold medal drought when my sled, the 'Night Train" won the Olympic title at the 2010 Vancouver Games. A degenerative eye condition nearly caused me to quit my sport in 2008, but corrective surgery restored my vision to 20-20.
