2008 World Champion...Too young to compete at the 2006 Olympics; she missed the cutoff by 86 days...So popular in Japan that fans recognize her by her voice alone...In anticipation of the Vancouver Olympics, a Japanese restaurant in Vancouver designed a sushi roll called the "Asada Roll."

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.
