Young Proulx holds her own in Winter Olympics giant slalomBORMIO, Italy – Tallulah Proulx, at 17 one of the youngest in the field, proudly stayed on her feet at the close of Alpine skiing’s Giant Slalom event in the 25th Winter Olympics Sunday. Proulx had a time of 1:17.15 in the first run at the iconic Tofane Alpine Skiing Center, site of the 1956 Winter Olympics. It was honestly unbelievable,” said Proulx, the first Filipina ever to compete in the Winter Olympics. “It was really cool,” said Proulx, who has one more event, the women’s Slalom, slated Wednesday to close out the Philippine participation that is backed by the Philippine Sports Commission under Chairman Patrick Gregorio. Francis Ceccarelli was wrapping up his campaign in the men’s Slalom as of presstime following a memorable 54th place in the Giant Slalom last Saturday.
