Good Things Come....

We've all heard the saying "Good Things Come to Those Who Wait."

Well, sometimes good things come to those who receive a less than favorable outcome on obtaining their end of the season track time.

After having our last three days of training canceled at the last minute, we are proud to be able to announce some incredible news. We hinted about it in our last blog entry, but since the decision hadn't been finalized just yet, we didn't feel comfortable saying anything until it was settled.

And now it is.

Team Holm Bobsled is proud to announce that they have been selected to participate in a special photo shoot at the Utah Olympic Park bobsled course on March 23rd. The photo shoot is being run by Getty Images, the world-renowned photography collection company.

According to Getty Image's website, www.gettyimages.com:

Today, gettyimages.com serves an average of 3.2 billion thumbnails, 7.3 million visits and 4 million unique users in addition to an average of 175 million page views each month.

As athletes we dream of competing before the eyes of the world, but through this photo shoot our sport, our team, and our very images will be THE image of bobsled for years to come. The pictures taken during the shoot will be added to Getty's immense stock photo library for magazines, newspapers, TV stations, websites to purchase all over the world. And with the 2010 Winter Olympic Games coming up, it will be a thrill to see how many times our pictures are purchased, printed, and posted across the globe!

Words cannot properly express how honored we are as a team to participate in this project. After a full season of hard work, sacrifice, and dedication, the 23rd will mark the perfect ending to our 2007-2008 year. Indeed, as we have talked amongst ourselves about it, this opportunity is something that we will remember, and be proud of, for the rest of our lives.

As this very opportunity teaches, even when obstacles seem to stand impossibly and impassibly in your path, just be patient and keep believing.

The bright lights and the red carpets are just around the corner.
