Delaney: SI predicts bronze for Hamlin

Sports Illustrated, in its Olympic preview issue, picks Remsen's Erin Hamlin to earn a bronze in women's luge.

On page 95 of the Feb. 8 issue, Hamlin, the reigning women's World Champion, is third behind German sliders Tatjana Huefner and Natalie Geisenberger. There is a picture of Hamlin on page 76 accompanied by a short block of text.

If the magazine's pick comes true, the medal would be Hamlin's fourth and biggest bronze of the season. She finished third behind the German athletes in three World Cup races. No U.S. woman has won an Olympic luge medal.
