With its wealth of winter Olympic training facilities, Utah boasts more than its fair share of athletes competing in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver Feb. 12-28. According to the U.S. Olympic Committee, a total of 51 U.S. athletes competing in the Vancouver games list somewhere in Utah as their birthplace, hometown or current residence. I've added one Aussie, Torah Bright, who lives and trains in Salt Lake City.
