After eight years of self-imposed exile, Benazir Bhutto—who, as two-time prime minister (1988–90 and 1993–96) of Pakistan, was the first woman leader of a Muslim nation in modern history—returned to her home country, and hours later she was nearly killed when her motorcade was bombed in Karachi; she was assassinated in December.
Kildow burst onto the international skiing scene in 1999 at age 14 when she won the slalom race at Italy’s Trofeo Topolino competition for skiers aged 11–14, becoming the first American female to capture the event. She skied in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, racing in Alpine combined and slalom, but she managed only a sixth-place finish in combined.
