For a hero's strength is measured by his heart,"

If you don't have the right appreciation for Rosie Brennan, you will after this show.

At 34 years old, the two-time Olympian — twice cut by the U.S. Ski team — was fourth in the overall World Cup standings, the second time she’s done so in the last three years. She finished fifth in the World Championships 30k, said by some to be one of the best distance performances by an American skier ever. We talk about everything – the past, the future, skis, development, and what question she'd prefer a journalist to ask her in the finish zone.

"It's not about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward

...that's how winning is done!!!!"

Thanks Rosie!
