Yogurt spat throws off routines of Sochi Olympians

SOCHI, Russia (AP) U.S. Olympians will have to make do without the team's official yogurt - depriving them of a source of protein and potentially disturbing their daily routines as they prepare for the biggest competition of their lives.

Some 5,000 cups of Greek yogurt from Team USA sponsor Chobani isn't getting to Sochi because of a customs dispute with Russia.

U.S. halfpipe skier Aaron Blunck said Friday that to traveling athletes, getting food from home is part of feeling fit and healthy. ''And having the yogurt there, that helps you, gives you protein, gives you nutrition.''

But teammate Lyman Currier said part of being an elite athlete is dealing with the unexpected, ''so whether we have our yogurt or not, we'll be able to adapt.''
