Being an American and native Vermonter now living in South Carolina and growing up on Killington as a young boy, I enjoy so much watching the live streams now available of the USB men and women. I was up early to watch both men and women from Ostersund Sweden and as a parent myself can only imagine how proud the parents of Haley Johnson must be, She has shown to be a great athlete and a great American with a hugh heart. She has done her country well as have the others.

It is pretty exciting to watch, isn’t it! And, my dad was actually at the Sprint and Pursuit this weekend. We have a bit of a Swedish heritage and this is my first World Championships, so it was great to share the experience with him.
I am proud to represent and thank you again for your comment. Hope you get some skiing in this winter! -Haley J. http://www.mainewsc.org/haleyj.html
