As the 2020 Youth Olympic Games held in Lausaunne, Switzerland were underway in January, it was just the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. Listen to Kate McNay Koch discuss how she her husband, Bill Koch (4 time Olympian and World Champion Nordic Skier), cheered on their 18-year old son, Will Koch at the Youth Winter Olympic Games.  Will Koch won a Bronze Medal in the 10K Race. Kate also discusses how the US Ski Team teaches safe travel techniques to athletes and how they are adapting to life in Vermont where schools are now operating online while nordic athletes continue to train, just  without teammates.
