PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — As she stood in the start gate while the clock ticked down to signal the beginning of her race, Kelsey Serwa could feel her heart beating and she could hear the sound of a heartbeat playing over the loud speakers, too—as she describes it, “bomp-bomp, bomp-bomp.”
Minutes later, after the 28-year-old charged down the ski cross track to become Canada’s 10th Olympic gold medallist, she pulled a heart-shaped rock out of her inside jacket pocket and she waved it in the air and smiled at her family, who had just watched her win the biggest race of her life.
