Shoreview’s Kyra Condie climbs her way to Olympics BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Sport climbing will be a new event in the Olympics this year, and the American team will include a Shoreview native. Kyra Condie, 23, who’s been climbing since age 10 and overcame a serious back problem to continue, is one of three Team USA members set for the 2020 Games in Tokyo in August. “I definitely had goals that were like national level, international level, from dreams from when I fi rst started climbing,” Condie told WCCO when the TV station featured her Dec. 26. The 2016 Mounds View High School graduate completed the long process of qualifying in early December at an international meet in Toulouse, France, where she placed seventh and was the top American. Condie, who has a degree in animal science from the University of Minnesota and intends to be a veterinarian, is currently living and training in Salt Lake City, where she was contacted by the Shoreview Press. “I’m having a fun time. I miss school, but it’s nice to focus on climbing,” Condie said. On the rigors of climbing: “It’s super hard on your body in general, but most of the stress come down to fi ngers. A fi nger injury is very detrimental, so you have to be careful. I’ve had injuries to fi ngers, shoulders and elbows.”As for diet, she says, “I’m a vegetarian but not any strict diet. I love cooking for myself. All sorts of veggie SUBMITTED

Coincidentally, Ramsey County’s fi rst Zamboni — the same machine that manicured Aldrich Arena ice — is being restored and should be ready for a special parade commemorating the event. The Minnesota Wild is organizing a Greatest Day Parade in St. Paul to honor “Miracle on Ice,” the day the men’s U.S. Olympic team, coached by Herb Brooks, beat the Soviets. The team went on to win the gold medal. A Forest Lake grad who played high

Corey Roberts, owner of The Minnesotan apparel company in downtown White Bear Lake, is selling specially designed shirts for the project and kicking back 12% of sales. “One of our fi rst designs was the Aldrich Arena shirt,” noted Roberts, who opened the store late 2018. “It’s a landmark.” Sharing his own personal experience, the retailer said he’ll never forget losing to Hill-Murray 6-5 in double overtime his last high school game at the Maplewood arena, the oldest ice rink in Ramsey County. Sara Ackmann, director of operations for ice arenas and golf courses, is familiar with the store and knew

Roberts had Aldrich apparel. The county approached the owner asking if he’d be interested in helping fundraise for the Zamboni project. Roberts quickly accepted, creating the graphic and applying it to two garments, plus a hat. The nostalgic Aldrich merchandise has been popular, but for reasons Roberts didn’t expect. “When we fi rst started selling the shirt, I heard more comments about graduations at Aldrich than hockey. That caught me by surprise,” he said. Ackmann said the 1962 Zamboni, decommissioned in the early ’90s, was becoming a storage problem for SEE ZAMBONI, PAGE 10
