Everyone's been asking which Seawolves will be in the Olympics this year! You may recall that the staff of the UAA Nordic Ski Team blog speculated a few weeks ago about which Seawolves will be there. Here are the answers to the questions you've been asking:
Magnus Norøy will be at the Olympics. He'll be waxing cross-country skis for the Canadians.
Tuva Bygrave probably won't be at the Olympics. I didn't see her name on the list when I looked up the Australian team roster.
Lukas Ebner will not be at the Olympics. As recently as last week, he was riding his bike around one of the islands in the Mediterranean Sea.
Pascale Paradis will be competing in Biathlon for Canada at the Olympics.
Andrew Kastning will not be at the Olympics. Other commentators will be making the call.
JC Schoonmaker will be competing in his second Olympics.
Erik Flora will be coaching Team USA at the Olympics.
Peter Hinds will be competing for Slovakia at the Olympics. I'm no Slovakian Olympic Team official, but with two men on the Slovakian team, my guess is Peter will likely have lots of opportunities to be on the start line in Val di Fiemme.
Derek Dueling will not be suiting up to race for the Canadian team. But there's a rumor going around that he may be waxing for the Canucks. Derek, if you're out there, call in to the Blog and tell us what's up!
Hailey Swirbul will be competing for Team USA in Italy.
Toomas Kollo will not be at the Olympics. He will likely be somewhere along the Bering Sea coast of Alaska, exploring around.
Nevio Zeni has been spotted several times around Tesero and Predazzo by various traveling Alaskans since he was featured in this blog's Olympic preview edition in December. Nevio will indeed be in the Olympics, likely as a roving jack-of-all-trades. The word from the blog's paparazzi is that Nevio's wife operates a hotel in town. You can bet that Nevio will be in the thick of it.
Murphy Kimball will not be at the Olympics. But he will be going to World Juniors soon.
I can't wait to see how our Seawolves do at the Olympics this year! Good luck to all of them!
