Billy Demong: Skier with an Odd Tattoo
By Brenda B. Covert |
|
1 Why would a member of the U.S. Nordic Ski Team sport a "No Diving" tattoo on his ribcage? It's because a diving accident in 2002, months after he competed in the 2002 Winter Olympics, put a crack in his skull that ran from his nose to the top of his head. At first, Billy Demong feared that he'd broken his neck. The fractured skull was a relief, but it did keep him away from skiing for an entire year. |
