Check out Kate Hansen a local So Cal skater girl who is competing on the U.S. Olympic Luge team in Sochi! She just became the FIRST American in 17 years to win a World Cup Gold Medal and has an awesome chance of being the first American to win gold in women's luge. That is HUGE!
Los Angeles Times sports writer, Bill Plaschke and I have had disagreements over his coverage of female athletes in the past (yes, I have been one of those people who has written him a letter or two..) but this time he nails it!
His coverage of Kate and how she used to bomb the streets on her skateboard day & night near his home is priceless and it's a must read. Check it out HERE
Another skater girl making us proud!
Go KATE!
