Adaptall wishes Chad Hedrick the Best of Luck in Vancouver, Canada
February 12, 2010
Adaptall is happy to wish Chad Hedrick all the best of luck in Vancouver, Canada, as he makes his second Olympic debut. In 2006, Adaptall America had the privilege of witnessing Chad Hedrick of Spring, Texas, achieve Olympic glory in Torino, Italy. A world class ice speed skater (long track), Chad also holds dozens of records for inline racing around the world. After dominating the land-based sport, Chad decided to make the transition over to ice – a rather difficult task. Two years later, Chad held the all-around world title (only the third American in 100 years), and two years after that in 2006 he won gold, silver, and bronze at the Torino winter Olympics, becoming the most highly decorated American athlete of the entire games! Adaptall is proud to have supported him through the complete transition.
Chad will be skating in the following events: 1000m (Wed Feb 17), 1500m (Sat Feb 20), 5000m (Sat Feb 13), and Team Pursuit (Sat/Sun Feb 26/27).
