With a worldwide pandemic in play, the Star Tribune made an unusual request of its seven metro winter athletes of the year in their individual sports: Since we can't get all of you in for a studio portrait, show us what you've got with a camera in your hand.

Congratulations to each, and a special thanks for your homespun efforts.
