'Bronze feels a lot like a broken heart': Hannah Kearney falls short of record

Posted at 6:34 pm on February 8, 2014 by Brett T.

U.S. freestyle skier Hannah Kerry was hoping to set an Olympic record for back-to-back gold medals, but a third place finish Saturday in Sochi put an end to that dream. Fortunately, there was plenty of consolation on Twitter.

Canadian sisters Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe won the gold and silver medals, respectively, in the women’s freestyle moguls skiing competition. Kearney did find the silver lining after some introspection.

In better news, I contributed to the #TeamUSA medal count, I am healthy, and I believe that everything happens for a reason.
