WITH their Silver Medal finish in the women\u2019s bobsled competition at Cesana Pariol on Tuesday, the American bobsled team of Shauna Rohbock and Valerie Fleming have become the first ever athletes to win a Winter Olympic medal in Speedo.  <\/p>\n<p>The pair finished 0.71 seconds behind Gold Medalists Sandra Kiriasis and Anja Schneiderheinze of Germany; the Italian team of Gerda Weissensteiner and Jennifer Isacco won Bronze.  Rohbock and Fleming\u2019s Silver Medal is the first medal for the U.S. sliding team in these Olympics and the first-ever Winter Olympic medal in Speedo\u2019s history.  <\/p>\n<p>The newly crowned Silver Medalists are among the more than 30 athletes to wear SPEEDO\u2019s FASTSKIN FSII Ice speed suit in competition, including Vonetta Flowers, Jean Prahm and Todd Hays in bobsled, and Katie Uhlaender, Chris Soule, Kevin Ellis and Eric Bernotas in skeleton. <\/p>\n<p>By extending its cutting edge technology to sliding sports, Speedo has created one of the most aerodynamically advanced suits ever developed in the FSII Ice.  With Olympic heritage dating back to 1932, 47 Olympic medals were earned by athletes wearing Speedo at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TORINO, Italy, February 23.
