Biography |
Lindsey Kildow (born October 18, 1984 in St. Paul,
Minnesota) is an American alpine skier. While growing up ski
racing in Vail, Colorado, her role model was Picabo Street.
Her successes in skiing led to an Olympic Games debut in the
2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
On February 13, 2006, while training for the downhill race
at the 2006 Winter Olympics, Kildow crashed and was
evacuated by helicopter to a nearby hospital. Despite a
bruised hip, she did not bow out of the competition, instead
competing and finishing 8th. Kildow and several other racers
had complained that the course was too easy, and Olympics
organizers had made several modifications to the course,
including adding more jumps. |
