Mark Grimmette: Your American Flagbearer For The Vancouver Olympics

Mark Grimmette is 39 years old and still flinging his body down a luge track every chance he gets. He’ll be doing a little more than that in Vancouver, though -- he’s been voted the American flagbearer for the Opening Ceremonies Friday night:

↵“I’m still shaking,” Grimmette told The Associated Press on Wednesday. [...] “To be the person leading the U.S. team into the opening ceremony is just such a great honor.”
↵Well, steady up those joints before you start hurtling down any icy chutes, Papa Mark, but congratulations just the same.
