Snowboarding's golden girl not quitting while she's ahead
Six of the top female snowboarders are fighting to secure their place on the 2010 Swiss Olympic team this weekend at the Snowboard World Cup in Veysonnaz. It will be an intense competition, as none of the spots are guaranteed, not even for 2006 Olympic Gold Medalist Tanja Frieden. WRS video journalist Amy Wong went to the elite women’s snowboard training session yesterday to talk to Tanja Frieden about her chances, her age and her hopes for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
The LG Snowboard FIS World Cup is being held in Nendaz and Veysonnaz, near Sion, for the first time. It runs from Thursday, January 14 to Sunday January 17.
