Get to know the WOMENS TEAM who are not part of the "Speed Queens"

We are not the "Speed Queens," we have no name.  We are the girls who are racing in the Olympics in the Technical Alpine Events (slalom and giant slalom).  We are not yet in Whistler and I thought that it would be FUN to introduce ourselves to YOU before we get into the CRAZINESS of the Olympics!!! Our teammates: Emily Brydon, Britt Janyk, Shona Rubens and Georgia Simmerling are all racing speed (and some technical) this week in the Olympics.  GO GIRLS! GO CANADA!!!
