With the winter Olympics wrapping up a few months ago, it should be noted that many Iowans have competed in the summer Olympics, but only a few have competed in the winter Olympics. Can you guess who they are based on the following hints?
1. Who is the only Iowan to ever compete in both the Summer and Winter Olympics?
Lolo Jones who graduated from Roosevelt High School in Des Moines, was an Olympic hurdler and bobsled team member.
2. Who was the first Iowan to compete in the Winter Olympics?
Karlos Kirby of West Des Moines competing in the bobsled in 1992 and 1994. Note: yes they changed the Winter and Summer games to a new staggered schedule which is why they were only 2 years apart.
3. Who was the most recent Iowan to compete as a speed skater in the winter Olympics?
