On this day 20 years ago, Andrea Burke (neé Henkel) won Gold at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics in an event that her coaches recommended she didn’t compete in. This marked the first of many medals at Soldier Hollow in what was considered a smashing success for the country of Germany who won the medal count at those Olympics.

Today, Andrea recalls her childhood during the reunification of Germany, that Gold medal, and her dramatic finish that led to an overall World Cup title.
