The medal 'silver medal in Berlin 2009 & nbsp; & egrave; withdrawn from the world dell''atletica after missing qualifying for the London 2012 Games, and even if & nbsp; in recent years & egrave; mainly aimed at families & nbsp; becoming a mother for the second time, you & egrave; still kept in shape playing consistent workouts in the gym and on the track. Despite three years of inactivity & agrave; the passion for the sport is not & egrave; never slumbering in Priscilla, and cos & Igrave; when the Canadian federation has suggested the possibility & agrave; starting a new career in the world of sports bob, the original thirty-three of Nebraska & nbsp; did not hesitate to accept.
"I kept running and lifting weights as I did when I was preparing for the races - said the site of CBS Lopes-Schliep - if I had not done this type of training I would never have thought to shoot with the 'activities & agrave; sports high level. & nbsp;
The Olympic bronze medalist in Beijing in 2008, was already & agrave; Canada was contacted by Bob and Skeleton Federation & nbsp; in 2008 when it was accidentally came into contact with Kaillie Humphries during a training in Arizona. In quell''occasione Priscilla did not take too seriously the remaining concentrated nell''atletica, but from then on & egrave; remained in constant contact with the twice winner of the World Cup bobsled.
And so & Igrave; quest''estate the possible association Humphries-Lopes & egrave; become reality & tant agrave ;, '' & egrave; all''ultime that according to rumors the new couple of bob Canadian could make his debut at the trial of Park City & nbsp; valid as the fifth round of the World Cup circuit. & nbsp; of course the 'lens of Lopes-Schliep & egrave; to take part in the next edition of the Olympic Winter Games dreaming of a historic second medal in two different types of Olympics.
"I would strongly Priscilla share with me the next Olympics - she said Humphries microphones dell''emittente Canadian television, adding - I will try & ograve; to help give my best, because & egrave; un''atleta are convinced that it is exceptional. It has a capacity & agrave ; thrust out of the ordinary, can unleash the power and explosive force without scordinarsi. When the 'I saw her for the first time pushing a bob I was literally stunned. But beyond these qualities & agrave ;, Priscilla & egrave; a girl accustomed to compete at a high level, so she knows herself very well and knows how to train and especially has the 'ability to handle the pressure. This is critical in any sport if you want to aim for an Olympic medal. "
The 'former Canadian hurdler & egrave; only the 'last in a long line of athletes grew strongly competitive practicing other sports Summer & nbsp; who subsequently decided intrapprendere the way of the bob. In recent years, the very feminine bob has seen a marked improvement in & nbsp; & nbsp timekeeping performance, especially with the support being driven by ex-athletes. The American national in particular led the sprinter Lauryn Williams to win the medal 'silver at the recent Olympic Games in Sochi, but satisfaction as a brakeman if the' '& egrave; Also removed Lolo Jones (historical opponent in the 100m hurdles Poser-Schliep ed) that & egrave; took the podium in the World Cup.
But the previous pi & ugrave; illustrious remains one linked to the legend of the 400 hurdles Edwin Moses that after winning the 'impossible nell''atletica & nbsp; & ograve pass; to bob. Moses & Igrave not succeeded; finish the dream to take part even at a Winter Olympics, but she managed & Igrave; nell''intento on the podium in a World Cup race.
At this point, having found that the bond-bob Athletic & egrave; increasingly & ugrave; Solid, a question naturally arises: will we ever see Bolt compete with the legendary Cool Runnings?
