		After winning the downhill silver medal at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Norway, Street had an astounding World Cup season in 1994-95, winning five consecutive downhills, six overall, to claim her first of two consecutive World Cup downhill titles.

		Street said she has absolutely no intention of asking the cities of Hailey or Ketchum to change the "Picabo Street" street names that were formally dedicated during her most productive years on the U.S. Ski Team, from 1994-1996, when she became the best female ski racer in the world.
