Former world skeleton champion Noelle Pikus-Pace is coming out of retirement with an eye on the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

Pikus-Pace tells The Associated Press that she resumed training earlier this year and is lining up sponsorships for the next two seasons, so that her husband and two children can travel with her.

Pikus-Pace was fourth at the 2010 Vancouver Games, missing a bronze medal by one-tenth of a second. She failed to qualify for the 2006 Turin Games after having her right leg shattered when a bobsled crashed into her a few months before those Olympics.

She retired after Vancouver, insisting then that she would not change her mind. Within months, she began wavering, and now has made the decision to slide again.
