Kelly Gunther is every girl's best friend. She is open and vulnerable- yet there is something that sets her apart from the rest. She is an Olympian and was the darling at the Sochi Olympics in 2014. From The Olympic Mind To Reality is an amazing feat of transformation. What is it like to be an Olympic athlete and then reinvent yourself?
With laser focus and unparalleled resilience, Kelly, or as she is affectionately referred to as the "Comeback Kid", took her athletic abilities to the highest echelon. So what happens next?
What happens after you have reached the pinnacle of your craft? You can curl up in a ball and remember the good 'ol days or you can reinvent yourself like a star.
Kelly is an American speed skater who participated in the 2014 Winter Olympics. She began roller skating at age six, briefly tried figure skating, then took up inline speed skating. As an inline skater, she won multiple World Championship gold medals on the United States relay team. In 2009, she transitioned to ice speed skating.
At the 2010 Olympic trials, Gunther appeared to make the United States speed skating team, but was bumped from the team after another skater was granted a re-skate. In March 2010, she fell during a race and suffered a double-compound fracture that nearly severed her foot from her leg. After intensive rehab, Gunther was able to return to skating and set two personal best times in November 2011. She made the 2011–2012 World Cup team and placed third in the 1000 meters at the 2011–2012 national championships. At the 2014 U.S. Olympic trials, she skated a personal best time of 1:16.43 in the 1000 meters to place fourth and make the Olympic team. This is why we are obsessed with Olympian Kelly Gunther.
