Local skater qualifies for the Olympics.

Speed Skater Zach Stoppelmoor of West Des Moines just qualified for the winter Olympics with the fastest time in the 500m. I know the parents a bit so I was watching live. Nice people and happy for them and Zach. Good to have a local representative in the Olympics.

This is awesome. I love watching speed skating to begin with but now have an Iowan to cheer for
