Ida, Simi and entourage at World Cup Sprints

The BMA Nordic Team spent the past couple of days spectating at the World Cup sprints held right in downtown Quebec City.  A huge portion of the crowd was from New England and New York nordic ski programs.  Kikkan Randall picked up World Cup victories 6 and 7, in part because Kate schlepped two of our spinning bikes up here for the USST athletes to use.

Ida Sargent ('05) blasting off as the first racer of the day at 10:40am.  Unfortunately, she did not advance to the quarter-finals.  She's been busy, however, these past couple of weeks.  She picked up 9th in the team sprint on Friday with Holly Brooks. On 11/30/12 she picked up an individual 9th place in a sprint in Finland.  Six days ago (12/2/12) she picked up 18th in a 26km WC pursuit.

Finally, here's a video of Warren et al cheering for Ida.
