At speeds approaching 100 miles per hour, a series of hairpin turns, and downhill declines, bobsledding is a sport for the fearless. Steven Holcomb is one of the world's top athletes and he finished sixth in the 2006 Olympics. But Steve had a secret he was afraid to share. In the prime of his athletic career, he was diagnosed with keratoconus, a degenerative eye disease leaving one in four people blind without a cornea transplant, and even with a transplant the results may not be perfect. When he finally told his coach, he underwent a revolutionary new treatment, C3-R, that restored his sight to 20/20. Holcomb and his team and sled, The Night Train, then went on to become the first American bobsledders since 1948 to win the Olympic gold medal at Vancouver in 2010.
