Favourite Olympic/Sporting Moment
My favorite moment was definitely when I was standing in the gate at the 2006 Olympics in Torino. It felt like all of the hard work and all of the experiences had come together at that moment, and the only job left to do was to simply ski. It was a very calming and empowering moment. I could see my family in the crowd, and I could feel their support, along with the support of those who were cheering me on back home. It was such a magical moment that I will hold onto forever.
