Liver Transplant Recipient Chris Klug to Return to Winter Olympics

From the Los Angeles Times:

King of the comeback, Chris Klug is heading back to the Olympics.

Eight years after bringing his inspirational story to Salt Lake City, the 37-year-old snowboarder will return to the games in Vancouver.

Klug won a bronze medal in 2002 in parallel giant slalom, only 19 months after a successful liver transplant, but saw his chance for a return trip in 2006 quashed after losing an appeal over technicalities in the Olympic qualifying system.
