Olympic silver medalist skier ski races with pet rats
CANOE -- SLAM! - Skiing - Dorfmeister to retire after season: "LAKE LOUISE, Alta. (CP) - Michaela Dorfmeister used to travel to ski races with her pet rat, has a rabid fan club that follows her around Europe and spent last summer building her own house.
Dorfmeister has always been one of the more eccentric characters on the World Cup circuit. Now the Austrian star, who has 21 World Cup victories and an Olympic silver medal, says this will be her last year of racing.
For years, Dorfmeister travelled with her pet rats Cindy and Columbus. If they weren't with her at a race, they watched on television.
Dorfmeister swore she had a good race when the rodents were glued to the tube"
Rats snow skiers...is there anything rats cant do?
