Associated Press
Bill Koch, the only American to win an Olympic medal in cross-
country skiing, glides across the sand of a Molokai beach while leading
a workshop for a group from Alaska on beach cross-country skiing.
Koch, 45, transformed the sport of cross-country skiing in the 1980s
by using a skating technique at a time when the rest
of the world was strictly classical.
