Kris Freeman - Olymipc Athlete
Kris Freeman is the best cross country skier in America, and an Olympic medal contender for a country that has not won a medal in this discipline in 34 years.
His blood sugar dropped, and he fell to the ground during the 30K cross country race on day 9 of the Olympic games. With the help of a German coach and some sustenance he got back on his skis and finished the race.
Kris Freeman is an inspirational character who demonstrates the importance of living with diabetes and not letting diabetes beat us.
Kris says "I identify myself as a cross country skier and not as a diabetic."
