Obnoxious Email Launches Olympic Bid

Friday, 10 January 2014 | by Pat's Picks

After seeing 2010 Olympic freestyle aerial skiing in 2010, then 17-year-old Kendal Johnson fired off an email to the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association telling them he would be the greatest aerialist ever, if given the chance. This despite never having been on skis.  The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel says now four years later, Johnson has a shot at making the U.S. Olympic squad, in part because someone read his email and told him to send in a video.
