Vermonter Hannah Kearney revels in her gold medal

— Alpine / downhill skiing, Ski racing

Hannah Kearney has quite a set of knees. Did you see her run? Holy cow. Hannah Kearney earns gold

There's a nice interview of her in the Post-Star. It mentions that she is very excited to bring the medal back to Vermont, her home state.

This native Vermonter brings her knitting projects along on the ski circuit as a "productive way to relax."

She also props her pigtails up on the back of her helmet to keep the wet hairs off her neck.

She went to Vancouver confident that she could win the gold. And she sure did.

Today, February 18, Vermonters Hannah Teter and Kelly Clark go for a medal in the women's halfpipe competition.
