John-Henry Krueger worked really hard for his Olympic silver medal, and he’s not giving it up easily. Not even if it meant success for the local sports teams.
The Peters Township native, who took second in the 1,000-meter short-track speed skating competition last week, told NBC in a Q-and-A-style video Tuesday that he wouldn’t trade his medal for more playoff wins the Steelers and Penguins.
Pittsburgh native @Real_JohnHenry loves his hometown but loves his bling more.
