PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — Justin Olsen has used his time off wisely, and he thinks he is ready to get in a sled again.
The U.S. bobsledder who underwent an emergency appendectomy shortly before the start of the Pyeongchang Olympics will be in his sled Thursday for the start of official two-man training.
Olsen was at the Alpensia Sliding Center on Wednesday with U.S. coach Brian Shimer, checking out the venue. It was his first time that Olsen, a member of the 2010 four-man gold-medal-winning team for the U.S. in a sled driven by the late Steven Holcomb, ventured out since his laparoscopic surgery.
