One is Sewing, the Other Rowing: Sisters Pin Their Olympic Hopes on Teamwork
July 7, 2004
Cincinnati sisters Kelly and Raegen Salchow are both on pins and needles as the August Olympics in Athens approach. Kelly, rowing on the U.S. women s quadruple sculls team, is a soon-to-retire veteran seeking a medal after barely missing out with a fifth-place finish in the 2000 games. That hoped-for medal would suit Raegen just fine. It's Raegen who put her fashion-design degree to work for her sister, creating a state-of-the-smart unisuit that s more than sew-sew in providing a competitive advantage.
