American Luger-ista Erin Hamlin (not sure what her official title is) just made U.S. Olympic history by medaling in the women’s singles event — the first American to do so. Hooray! Hamlin hopes her success will raise the profile of the sport over here. Here’s how she put it.
[USA Today] “Luge isn’t the biggest sport at home,” Hamlin said. “Hopefully this gives it a boost, I’m happy to pave the way to the future. Hopefully, it means we get a little more attention, some more funding so we can spread the numbers and a get a lot more kids involved and going forward just get stronger.”
Ok, but in the meantime, more of this. Alright? Deal. Good. Thanks.
