WHISTLER, British Columbia -- It was a moment Lenox biathlete Laura Spector will never forget -- the opening few strides of her inaugural Olympic race Saturday at Whistler's Olympic Park.
The 22-year-old, who attended Lenox Memorial High School and is now a senior at Dartmouth College, said she'd never had such an exhilarating atmosphere for the race.
"I was the first North American at the start, which was really cool because the crowd just went crazy," she said, explaining that there were lots of flag-waving Americans in the crowd that she would never see when racing on the World Cup circuit in Europe.
