The brakeman for this 4 man sled is from a small town real close to here, Sherarrd, Ill. Dan Steele is his name. His brother Darren came close to qualifying in the decathalon in the summer games.
In addition, another member of this team, Doug Sharp, attended Palmer College of Chiropratic which is here in Davenport. They are refering to him as a "local resident" as well.
Hope they win a medal......

Congrats Eric...
From the Chicago Sun Times "When it was all over, Shimer burst into tears. "I've been in this sport 16 years," he said. "I did it on my last run in my last Olympics. This is a fairy tale ending. Who doesn't like that?"
Congrats to Brian and th entire Shimer family!!
