LOS ANGELES — Chaucer wrote that time and tide wait for no man. But he didn't say anything about women, and that's a loophole Karla Schleske believes is big enough to accommodate her dream of skiing in the Winter Olympics.
It won't happen this year. Schleske hit her head while taking a spill in her final qualifying race for the Beijing Games earlier this month. But she's convinced her dream has only been delayed, not denied. Time, she says, will wait for her.
"This is not over," she promised. "I will focus on the next one. And for sure there are future Cups and world championships."
