BEIJING — Paula Moltzan earned her two minutes on Monday.
Not many skiers get booted from a national team program only to press reset on a career and ski her way back on. But roughly five years after the U.S. Ski team sacked her, she was in the giant slalom Monday at the Yanqing Alpine Skiing Center northwest of Beijing, racing well.
"I definitely put some of my better skiing out there second run and I'm happy that I was able to find the finish line, twice in a row, in an Olympic event," Moltzan said. "That's really important. And, yeah, it's been a long journey to get here and I'm just happy to be a part of this adventure."
