Puerto Rico's lone Winter Olympian hopes to inspire others to represent the island

The Puerto Rican team at the Milan-Cortina Winter Games isn't large. In fact, Kellie Delka stands just 5-foot-3 and weighs about 120 pounds. That's it; that's Puerto Rico's entire team. Her only event is skeleton, in which athletes travel at about 80 mph down an icy mile-long track with 16 turns. And she won't be in the hunt for a medal in Saturday's final rounds after finishing 24th of 25 athletes in Friday's two heats.
