Dartmouth Olympians head to Torino, Italy for Games
The Dartmouth As the 2006 Winter Olympics kick off in Torino, Italy, more than a dozen past, present and future Dartmouth students will look to couple their College green with Olympic gold. Dartmouth boasts 14 of the Ivy League's 29 Winter Olympic participants, with Big Green athletes slated to contend in women's ice hockey, alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and the biathlon.
