Bleedin_Red Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Just wanted to Congratulate Curt on a Gold medal in the 4 man bobsled yesterday. I grew up 7 miles from Curt and hung around him in highschool. He is from Shelby, NE pop. 690. Curt played football for Nebraska. He is the first Nebraska born and raised athlete to EVER win any sort of medal in the Olympics. Congrats Curt! Quote Link to comment

With Nebraski right in Ashland I'm surprised we never had even a bronze in the downhill! Quote Link to comment

Bleedin_Red Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Ok maybe I should have clarified. First born and raised to win a Winter Olympics medal. Plus I have no idea, but was Hartung born in Nebraska? Quote Link to comment
