Yogurt spat throws off routines of Sochi Olympians

0

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — U.S. Olympians will have to make do
without the team’s official yogurt — depriving them of a source of
protein and potentially disturbing their daily routines as they prepare
for the biggest competition of their lives.
Some 5,000 cups of Greek yogurt from Team USA sponsor Chobani isn’t getting to Sochi because of a customs
dispute with Russia.
U.S.
halfpipe skier Aaron Blunck said Friday that to traveling athletes,
getting food from home is part of feeling fit and healthy. "And having
the yogurt there, that helps you, gives you protein, gives you
nutrition."
But teammate Lyman Currier said part of being an elite
athlete is dealing with the unexpected, "so whether we have our yogurt
or not, we’ll be able to adapt."
