 So I am here with Kristen Cooper Tashay and Mark Tashay and I have to say I love a love story and these two met when they were just 20 years old just kids really on the US ski team and they've been together ever since and I just want to hear more about this story because I just think it's fabulous. So Kristen why don't you talk. Yeah well we've shared a lot we were on the US ski team we went to a world championships together shared a lot of injuries and rehab with Dr. Stedman together and yeah we understand the world and we love the world of skiing and we've been in it ever since and yeah we're super lucky. So what was it like going through you know the ups and downs if somebody was doing well and somebody's career wasn't doing so well what was that like did that bond you stronger together? Absolutely I think it was supposed to Kristen had a lot more success than I did but it was really nice to have particularly during injuries we would be injured at different times and each of us had been through it so it was nice to have a shoulder to lean on to talk through and and I think it really was was helpful to both of us and and we were got stronger through it. We kind of knew what to do and how to help each other along and push back and that's also what steady was so great with is that he believed in us and said keep pushing and so we was really a family over time we were really really lucky to share that. And what would you like to say to Dr. Stedman today about all the work that he's done for you personally and just for the institution? Oh my god I wouldn't be here standing before you I've got an Olympic medal and three world championship medals and all of them I wouldn't have made if not for Dr. Stedman. His aggressive protocols and his progressive thinking really made my career and it's why I'm here standing here today and yeah that's it thank you so much I love you and you know that and so many people have been impacted by Stedman's career and I'm just so happy to be here thanking him. Yeah I think I'm so grateful to be have had the injuries I had and still be able to be as active as I am at this age I think with the world to him for that and and also through my career it could have ended many times and and and he didn't make that happen he was always there and and so supportive and and really taught us a lot about ourselves he's a special human being. And speaking of special this romance is clearly very special after 37 years so do you have any love metaphors that you can relate to skiing that you'd like to share? Oh yeah well so it gets rocky and bumpy and you're and ready and you still sort of look ahead and and make it smooth by working working hard to to get down the course and that's what we do with each other we are best friends and we understand work really hard to understand each other just like you do in skiing you try and just find the dance and make it smooth and that's what we work to do and we're honored to do it I'm honored to do it. Right. He's like that sums it up. How do you follow that up? You can't smart man Thanks you love birds.
