...McKinney hardly cuts the blocky figure of a woman skier. Actually, the entire women's team appears less robust than its regimen. At various boot camps from Hawaii to New Zealand, karate and pro football have been mixed into the exercises (Green Bay Packer Del Rodgers was a drill instructor). With the exception of three-time Olympian Cindy Nelson, a bronze-medal winner in 1976, they are extraordinarily fit.
