Lauryn Williams’ recent feat has everyone wanting to know more about the bobsledding “it” girl.

We had to give Lauryn some love, after-all, it’s not everyday you see black women bobsledding, and conquering the sport as that. It still amazes me that she only became familiar with the sport, just a year ago.

Things you may or may not know about the humble star:

-By recently earning a silver at the Olympics, Williams became the fifth athlete to earn medals in both the summer and winter Olympics

-We partly owe Lolo Jones for Williams’ switch to bobsledding. Williams deciding she would take on the challenge after a conversation with Jones about a year ago.

-In the 2012 Olympics Lauryn won gold as part of the U.S relay team (4 x 100 meter relay) and won an individual silver medal (100 meters) at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

-This was said of Lauryn’s conquering the unconventional sport by former track star Ato Boldon, who watched Lauryn’s race: “You’re going to see a lot of minorities in this sport. You’re going to see them say, ‘I was at home and watching Lauryn Williams, and I want to do that.'”
