Tahoe Athletes At The Sochi Olympics!

Okay, so we all know that Tahoe has the highest concentration of ski resorts outside of the Alps. Which makes a logical case for Tahoe having one of the highest concentration of athletes on the U.S. Olympic team.

The list of Olympic athletes who call Tahoe home is long.

Here are U.S.Team members from the Tahoe/Truckee area (listed from South to North).

With 2800 athletes from all over the world competing in Sochi, having four medal winners from Tahoe makes us proud.

P.S. Many past Tahoe athletes have won Olympic medals as well as many medals in World Cup races and at the X Games, but of the current U.S. Team, it is worth noting that Julia Mancuso won a Gold medal in 2006 and two Silvers in 2010 (Her four-Olympic medals is the most ever for a U.S. female skier).

Hannah Teter also brought home a Gold in 2006 and a Silver in 2010.
