PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The Olympics were never part of Sarah Hoefflin's plan.
The goal when she entered university in Cardiff, England, a decade ago was to become a doctor. So she buried her head in books and earned a degree in neuroscience. Skiing back then was mostly just a way to blow off some steam every once in a while.
Medical school was supposed to be the next step after graduation.
One problem: she didn't get in.
"It just didn't work out for me," Hoefllin said.
No matter. The skiing thing kind of did.
