Julia Mancuso, 2006 Olympic giant slalom gold medalist, reached the summit at Mount Kilimanjaro this week, part of a fundraising effort to aid an international humanitarian organization called Right to Play, which benefits children in the world’s most disadvantaged areas. . . .

In her blog at juliamancuso.com, the 25-year-old skier writes, “It was definitely the toughest experience any of us had ever gone through.”. . . .

Obviously, she didn’t have to sit through Game 4. . . .
