“A gold medal balancing act”

Olympic bobsledder Vonetta Flowers captured a gold medal in Salt Lake City in 2002, becoming the first black athlete from any nation to win an Olympic Gold. Since her win in 2002, Flowers has given birth to twin sons, Jorden and Jaden, and her husband, Johnny, has quit his job to become her full-time manager, allowing the entire family to be together as Vonetta heads to the 2006 Torino Games. “You can bring home on the road,” Flowers said.
