Freestyle skiers must be a special breed. Earlier today I wrote about Jeremy Bloom’s determination to pursue his NFL dreams after he finishes his Olympic ones. Emily Cook’s story is different and even more inspiring.
In 2002, shortly before the Salt Lake City Olympics, Emily Cook broke both her feet landing a jump— one of the breaks was so bad that there was some concern she would never walk properly again. But now, a short four years later, she is on track to ski in the Turin Olympics.
