Steamboat Althetes in the 2014 SOCHI WINTER OLYMPICS    

  Needless to say we get excited to watch our local Olympians in the Olympics but it is just as exciting to stand on the sidelines at local events and see the kids who will be our future Olmpians absolutely ripping it even at a young age. Possibility is compelling and we have lots of it here in Ski Town USA(R).  Steamboat Springs has produced 79 Winter Olympians that lived and/or trained here with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club.  This year 15 athletes who have lived here and trained with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club (SSWSC) are headed to the 2014 Olympics in Sochi! 

  Steamboat is the best place in the world to live and train if you want to be an Olympian and it's even better if you want to live the mountain lifestlye. Why? Because you can do a whole array of sports on any given day here and probably have more free time than if you are training for the Olympics :)

  If you would like to cheer on our local athletes here are their names plus the days and times they will be competing. The list of athletes comes from the SSWSC and the Olmpian sendoff.  Here is a link to the NBC Olympics schedule which is in Eastern Time.  Schedules are subject to change and we haven’t looked for secondary coverage so be sure to double check with the link above and search if you want to see more.
