There isn’t a single athlete who makes to the Winter Olympics alone. Bobsledder Chris Kinney will tell you there’d be no Olympic dream realized without his grandpa Jack.
Grandpa Jack was always there growing up: every adventure, every milestone. He was there cheering on every achievement.
“I get emotional just talking about him,” Kinney said. “I get emotional just talking about him.”
He’s never missed one of Kinney’s races, but Grandpa Jack can’t make it Pyeongchang. It’s just too far to travel.
“I know he can’t be here, but you’re with me in here,” Kinney said pointing to his heart. “He always said to me, ‘Chris, I’m the last of the good guys.’ And he’s really led by example.”
