Do you know any Olympians?

A family friend's son went to Sydney. He didn't medal, but he's a commentator now.

My brother went to HS with a swimmer who went to.....Sydney? Maybe Greece. I knew him too (the swimming world in Baltimore is small, which is how I met Michael Phelps years before he was Michael Phelps, and just a kid who needed his card for his event, and my brother's HS was pretty small relatively) but anyway, I wouldn't say my brother was friends with that other kid. The guy was a real ass apparently. But I liked him bc he was also super hot. LOL. How deep we are at 15...

One of H's oldest friends has been living for multiple winters at the Olympic training facility in Lake Placid for skeleton but he has never actually made the team.

Yes, my H has several colleagues with gold medals from 2008 and who will likely also take gold this year.

[mekko]

Yes, family friend. Didn't medal but I believe he will try again in the next winter Olympics.

[olliee]

yes, i know the female wrestler Yelena Pirozhkova. She was on my brothers football team that I cheered for in middle school.

[sables]

Yup. The goal keeper for men's water polo.

My OB was a speed skater in the 1984 and 1988 Olympics. I've never asked her about it though, I just know from her professional bio.

I went to highschool with one of the 4x4 runners. she made it to the semi finals which is cool.

My old neighbor is a three time Olympic hockey player. I wasn't good friends with her (she is a few years older than me) but I watched her play hockey in the street ALL the time as a kid!

We looked at a house that is owned by a former women's bobsledder. So I haven't actually met her, but I have looked in her kitchen cabinets, lol. It was a small modest house. Apparently bobsledding is not wildly lucrative.

A family friend qualified when we boycotted Moscow for rowing. She is one tough woman! She's a huge community fitness advocate now and owns her own rowing company.

Does being smashed in the face by a volleyball spiked by Jordan Larson in highschool count? I had a backwards 'Wilson' imprinted on my forehead for several minutes :-(

I ran against Jessica Zelinka once (Canadian track and field star). She kicked my ass.

Other than that, NOPE!
