NBC’s out here doing features on Americans they can promote to sell products like soap, shampoo, etc. and here I am out there looking for ladies like Latvian luger Eliza Cauce and find out she has dog print tattoos on her chest. I assume those are footprints dedicated to her dog, the one she’s photographed with multiple times on IG.
Eliza won bronze in a team event at the 2014 Sochi Games so there’s a good chance you’ll be seeing her on a podium at some point over the next two weeks.
The Olympics are much more fun when we learn about athletes who would never get a chance to show off their dog paw print tats before going back to obscurity.
From Eliza’s profile over on NBC’s Olympics page:
