This 2-for-1 “A2W4SR” special features two Canadian ski cuties who are fighting through injury to compete in the Games. They’re both recovering from recent ACL injuries but will likely be braced up like Forrest Gump and doing their best to give’r in their respective events.
Anna Goodman’s a rising star in Slalom, and was starting to break into the top-1o before the injury. Her comprehensive blog gives you a good look at life on the World Cup circuit. She’s also the master of rock n’ roll air jump photos.

Julia Murray is one of Canada’s top skier cross athletes. Her dad was legendary Crazy Canuck Dave Murray, who passed away from skin cancer in 1990. Her mom, Stephanie Sloan, was 3-time world champion in freestyle skiing. In other words, Julia is hardwired for speed and bumps.

All cuteness aside, it’s impressive that these girls are even competing in these Games. If things don’t work out, they have a very valid excuse, and both are young enough to be in several more Olympics to come. You’ve been warned Sochi.
