EVENT - SKELETON

HEIGHT 5' 7" WEIGHT 157 lbs

Kimber Gabryszak began the sport of skeleton in 2005 after her now husband, Brad Stewart, encouraged her to give it a try since they lived so close to the Utah Olympic Park in Utah. Gabryszak and Stewart had planned to slide recreationally in the local club, but they fell in love with the sport and decided to commit to training.

Gabryszak raced downhill mountan bikes for the all-women pro team Velo Bellas, but she retired from bike racing in 2010 after she made the national skeleton team. "It's hard to train for skeleton with both arms in a cast," Gabryszak said. "Downhilling is a crazy fun but crazy dangerous sport!"

Gabryszak, who hails from Yentna Station, Alaska and is a current resident of Park City, Utah, holds a Master's degree in City and Metropolitan Planning from the University of Utah. She also has a Bachelor's degre in Geography and Urban Planning and three Associate's Degrees in Geography, International Studies and Mandarin Chinese. Follow Kimber's blog at www.TeamKimber.com .
