When Resi Stiegler came to St. Louis last week, she took some time to stop by Northwest Coffee in Clayton and visit w/the Hidden Valley Ski Team. She was a totally cool, very down to earth person. She had no trouble fitting right in, actually. Aside from the fact that she had an entourage, she was just one of us racers!The World Cup opener at Solden is coming up at the end of the month, so she's getting ready to start the new season. She's only 21 years old (turns 22 in Nov.), and she's already collected top 10 finishes in three World Championships, and two top 15 finishes at the 2006 Olympics. She has several top 10 finishes on the World Cup ciruit, last year nearly cracking the top 3 with a 4th place finish at the super combined in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee. This could be the year!
Man, just look at me... I'm such a nerd with my stupid pager poking her in the side. Well, you can tell she's a person of the people. She didn't even complain. If you want to see the rest of the pictures, I've posted them here.
Good luck this year, Tiger!
