Get to Know the Maine Olympians
The 2018 Winter Olympics are kicking off and Mainers have a solid representation at this year's games. You can stream the opening ceremony here! Our seven athletes with ties to Maine have poured their heart and soul into their respective sports, but what's more impressive is that they've managed to still have lives outside of training.
Olympians: they're just like us! Check out these posts that show a glimpse into our stellar athletes' lives outside of their athletic achievements.
Troy Murphy, Moguls Skier & Ferry Rider
Emily Sweeney, Luger & Wedding Partyer
Kaitlynn Miller, Cross Country Skier & Chicken Wrangler
Jimmy Reed, Bobsledder & Dog Enthusiast
Dinos Lefkaritis Jr., Alpine Skier & Woods Romper
Clare Egan, Biathlete & Buttery Scone Crafter
Russell Currier, Biathlete & Photo Booth Exhibitionist
All but Russell have public Instagram accounts, so follow along with their journey, Olympic and otherwise! Sports are always more fun to watch when you've stalked the athletes on social media. No? Just Me? Mkay.
