Kitt is the first American male alpine racer to compete in four Olympics. Kitt, one of the premier downhillers through the mid-'90s, tore the ACL in his left knee at the start of the 1996 season. He rehabilitated himself through the rest of that season and into last winter. After taking a two-week break at midseason, Kitt bounced back for his fourth World Championships and was anxious to show he'd made a full recovery. He got a start late last season and plans to accomplish that in full this season.
