And, while luge and skeleton may seem similar to each other, they’re actually vastly different events. Sure, both sports involve athletes racing down steep ice tracks at

As she continues to carve out a path for her next move, like any 18-year-old, exploring her independence is at the forefront. College was always part of Suni’s plan.
