Meet Kelly Curtis: USA Skeleton's First Black Olympian
https://www.teamusa.org/News/2022/February/09/Meet-Kelly-Curtis-USA-Skeletons-First-Black-OlympianShe knows that images of her competing at these Winter Games are a start but in the long run, will not be enough. To develop more world-class skeleton athletes, she would like to help build a better system to support them financially.
She would also like to see the national team cast a wider net in recruiting new sliders.
“I’m the first,” Curtis said, of being the first Black skeleton athlete from the U.S. to compete at the Olympic Games. “But I’m definitely not going to be the last.”
