Biography

Qualified young at the age of 18 for the Olympic final of the snowboardcross in Sochi 2014, a bad fall ousted her from the fight for the podium. As a result of this injury, she had to undergo a cruciate ligament surgery that caused her to close the World Cup competitive season prematurely. [5]
