Sports Illustrated predicted that the U.S. women’s bobsledding team would finish third in the Olympics. Jean Racine and Gea Johnson were the U.S. team. The magazine said the women would finish behind the German team of Sandra Prokoff and Susi Erdmann. The strapping Prokoff is 176 pounds. Erdmann is 6-foot-2 and has already competed in three Olympics as a luger. She won the bronze medal in 1992 and the silver medal in 1994.
Racine is only 5-foot-4 and 135 pounds. She is concerned about her and partner Johnson’s chance to win an Olympic medal. She should draw confidence from her partner’s previous athletic accomplishments. Johnson was the 1990 NCAA champion in the heptathlon. That is where athletes compete in seven different events. Johnson is a former Ms. National Fitness and has arms that look strong enough to push over a house. When she decided to try bobsledding as a way to realize her Olympic dream, competitors began wondering, “Who’s that?”
