The final cal coach in the Hall of Fame

Pudge Heffelfinger

In the small world category, my daughter has swam and played polo with Pudge's great, great, great, grand nieces here in the East Bay, one of whom is playing for Harvard at the moment.

Great follow-on questions. No idea re these, but re the skier -- hint, participated does not necessarily mean competed. After all, she was pregnant, and not just barely

Still not sure the answer, but here's a related link. A Stanford star among them . .. .

Okay, I cheated. With your hint, I assumed it had to be a torch bearer, and I looked it up. Bingo. I'll let others guess. . . .

Sometimes cheating is ok. Yep, a torchbearer, the one who skied the torch into the stadium and handed it off to the torch lighter. She first skied in the Olympics in 1948 at age 15, then won two golds in Oslo in 1952, was on the team in 1956 (Cortina) but didn't medal. By then, she already had three children. Those two golds in Oslo was the 1st time a US skier, male or female, won two golds in an Olympics. So now the answer should be obvious to anyone involved in skiing.
