Interesting Fact: Started skiing at the age of 10. While at dinner she met Tavish Sutherland, a freestyle coach who encouraged her to try it. She fell in love with the sport and never looked back.

Chances: She has finished in the top 5 at some of the biggest competitions in the world and therefore should not be overlooked as a possible podium contender in Sochi.
