Athlete Of The Day: Stefan Read

I love watching most sports on tv, especially hockey and basketball. I am already counting down the days til the Olympics. I can watch almost any Olympic sport (except for maybe Ice Dancing and curling...). Since the games are in Canada this year, lets start my profile of Olympians with Calgary's Stefan Read.

22 year old ski jumper Stefan Read first took a crack at the Olympic Games in 2006. Since then, Read has moved int competition on the World Cup circuit, and has become a leader on the team. Skilled and adorable! Let the games begin!
