CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — Were it not for the fact that he had a thing with his ankle, and he was super busy that other time, Lance Cpl. Steve Dietrich totally could have made the US Olympic team in six different sports, sources confirmed today.
“Luge, skeleton, and bobsled are basically sledding, dude, and I was a friggin’ champ at that when I was a kid,” Dietrich told his friends in the barracks during the opening ceremonies. “I could sled like a mofo and fly down this massive hill behind our school.”
When Duffel Blog spoke to Dietrich’s brother Rob to get the hometown story of this near-competitor, he could not confirm the massiveness of the hill but did concede that his brother in fact sledded a lot.
