It might not seem like much, especially after the 15 years the Park City resident has spent trying to change people's perceptions, but Reynolds says his brief moment with the Paralympic torch is going to a be a "once in a lifetime" event. Reynolds will carry the torch on part of its 'Journey of Fire,' which will culminate in lighting the cauldron caul-dron at the Rice-Eccles Olympic Stadium on March 7. Reynolds' portion por-tion of the relay will be that morning, morn-ing, and he will carry the flame through downtown Salt Lake City. "I've spent much of my life changing the stereotypes." said Reynolds, who has been in a wheelchair' wheel-chair' for 15 years. "This is another opportunity to do that." He says he looks for opportunities opportuni-ties to change perceptions in everything every-thing he does, whether it's hopping a curb or riding a wheelie down Main Street. He has also used sports to show people he is normal. An avid basketball basket-ball player, Reynolds played competitive com-petitive wheelchair basketball until the birth of his second son four years ago. And he aiways enjoys seeing his fellow golfers' reactions when he rolls up to the tee. Participating in the Paralympics, which Reynolds says "focuses on abilities rather than what people cant do." is an honor. He was nominated nomi-nated for the torch relay by a friend, and when he found out he was going to get to participate, he says he was "floored." "It's such an honor to be a part of this, especially after the past couple of weeks," he said. Reynolds attended the Olympics' Opening Ceremony on Feb. 8. and as he watched the torch make. its way around the stadium, he started to think about his opportunity to participate in the Olympic and Paralympic movements. "It definitely ignited my fire," he said. He feels the imagery of fire used in the slogans of both the Olympics and Paralympics is particularly poignant for people with disabilities. "I think it's really fitting. You do have to decide to light the fire within with-in and move on," he said. "You can be as successful as anyone else. You have to strive to meet the day's chal lenges just like everyone else. ; Joining Reynolds in the relay wiH be his seven- and four-year-old sons, as well as his wife. He was allowed to select three people to join him. ancj he felt it was only right to include his family. "I feel like it's a once-in-a-life-time moment and I feel it will be a part of their lifetime too." he said. , Reynolds doesnl have any special spe-cial plans for his quarter mile no wheelies, no curb-hopping, no basr ketballs. "A normal person with children and a family is example enough," he said. Reynolds says his co-workers a( the Bureau of Reclamation and hi$ sons' Salt Lake City school have already made plans to line the street on March 4. ; "I can't wait," he said. "I'm so excited." Schlopy forges ahead with two Super Series wins Park City skier puts Olympic disappointment behind him witn victories at Sunday River NEWRY, Maine - Park City's Erik Schlopy won his second straight race while leading a U.S. podium sweep Thursday in the second sec-ond of three giant slaloms at the Chevy Truck Super Series Finals. Using much of the same tactics in winning Wednesday's race, Schlopy set himself up on the first run and attacked the second on a crisp and windy day to post a combined com-bined two-run time of 2:21.86. Fellow U.S. Olympians Chip Knight (Stowe, Vt.) was second at 2:22.40, while Dane Spencer (Boise, Idaho) was third at 2:22.68. "They were two very different courses today, but it was challenging challeng-ing for both because it was very cold at the start and very windy," said Knight. For the second straight day. Knight led the first run, only to have Schlopy uncork one in the second and walk away with the $1,500 first -place check. "Erik has been skiing really fast all year," said Knight, who won $1,000. "He may not have been able to put it together on the World Cup, but he's just lighting quick. He had some of the fastest splits in the Olympics, so just being close to him is good for me. I'd like to beat him, but I can walk away knowing that I skied a good race today." . A number of U.S. Ski Team members, including seven 2002 U.S. Olympians, are competing at Sunday River. While their presence raises the level of competition, it also provides the younger athletes a learning opportunity and a chance to measure their ability against the best in the world. "It's such an honor," said Cireg Hardy (West Wardsborough, Vt.), who had a career-best 17th-place finish Thursday. "Just seeing all these guys that just came off the Olympics a week ago and be able to compete against them on a difficult dif-ficult hill like, this is really thrilling." "I hope that we set ' a good example for them," Knight said. "I remember when I was a kid and I used to get such a kick racing against guys that were on the World Cup. I would see those guys on TV and they're in another world. And then all of the sudden, m UK a . l V, Many Live Well. (Only a jew will live exceptionally well.)

I could never catch them, but I used, to really get encouragement just, being in the same race trying to match them and seeing just how far off I was. So I think we now really help to push the system along by being here, and it's good for racing in this country." For Schlopy, the wins take the sting out of his disappointing performance per-formance in the Olympics. In the giant slalom, Schlopy skied off course in front of a hometown crowd, but he's already put the disappointment dis-appointment behind him. "Of course there was the initial disappointment with the performance perform-ance I had at the Olympics," he said. "But the Olympics are about so much more than just the performance, per-formance, and it's just a wonderful experience regardless of the result. And as far as skiing goes, it's something some-thing I do everyday. When 1 have a bad result, I go out and ski the next day. I have a good result: I go out and ski the next day. The Olympics happened to be a huge race and a bad result, but life goes on and ski racing will go on for me for many more years and I look forward to the next Olympics." Now Schlopy is focused on winning win-ning the $10,000 Chevy Truck Super Series title, getting married in June and furnishing a new apart ment in New York City. "Whatever prize money I win I'm putting toward our furniture fund," Schlopy said after winning $1,5(X) for his giant slalom victory., "Right now we donY have any furniture, fur-niture, and it's not cheap, so what ever I win we'll be sitting on it." ; With two races remaining, Schlopy has 120 points toward the overall title. Knight is second with 114, while Tom Roth rex; k (Cashmere, Wash.), who finished sixth today, is third with 101. Race: winners receive 30 points toward; the overall title, while second; receives 29 and third 28 down to-one to-one point for 30th. '.
