FROM ONE CHAMPION TO ANOTHER…
What does it mean to be a champion? Yes, it means to be the best at something.
But it also means to stand up for something you believe in.
Being able to represent my country in the Winter Olympics was an incredible experience. But I also worry that tomorrow's athletes may not have that chance.
According to a recent report, of the 19 cities that have previously hosted the Winter Olympics, only 6 of them will still be cold enough to host the games by 2080.
Climate change is something that both myself and many of my fellow Olympians are concerned about – so much so that over 100 athletes from 11 countries signed on to
a letter written by one of our U.S. Olympic team members, Andy Newell, asking world leaders to take action on climate change in advance of next year's world climate talks in Paris.
However, if we are going to have any sort of shot at stopping climate change we need your help.
