Picabo Street (USA)
Listen to The Mountain Zone's exclusive pre-Olympic interview with Picabo Street
A violent knee injury kept her out of competition during the '96-'97 season, but the 1996 World and World Cup Downhill Champion took the time to heal. We know Olympic fans eagerly await the dramatic comeback of America's darling and expect it to be a highlight of the Winter Games. Street has nine World Cup wins behind her and two Women's Downhill Championships. With an instinct for speed, Street has been training with the US women's team in La Parva, Chile, and promises to be a strong contender for the podium (the middle spot) in Nagano.
