As the world watches star athletes compete in Beijing, all eyes were on a Washington woman living out her dream in the 1972 Olympics in Japan.
Susie Luby, who was Susie Corrock back then, brought home a bronze medal in downhill skiing for the United States.
Luby said her run in the Olympics was one of her biggest accomplishments in life, but it does not define who she is today. She’s proud of her skiing journey, but also her family and the life and career she built in Spokane.
