L & rsquo; athlete of North Vancouver, the next 2 December compir & agrave; 37, marks the end of a twenty-year career during which he won everything there & ograve; that he could win. & Ldquo; The snowboard left me so many incredible memories - says the North American - since I booted the first time the board until the privilege to participate in the Vancouver 2010 Olympics practically in my backyard. It & rsquo; It was a wonderful time & rdquo ;.
And not only participant & ograve ;, but even won the medal & rsquo; gold not far from the door of his house four years after the disastrous fall in the final of the Turin Games in 2006 that the cost & ograve; a slight concussion. A champion absolute: over at that & rsquo; Olympic gold home, that was the & rsquo; pinnacle of his career (he was one of the & rsquo; another the first Canadian woman to step onto the most & ugrave; top of the podium in a & rsquo; Olympiad home), you & egrave; brought home a gold and a bronze medal respectively in 2013 and 2005.
World Cup triumphed in 16 races, 14 in a cross and 2 in & rsquo; halfpipe, specialty & agrave; where he is deeply involved in the early years of his career, and between 1996 and 2013 he scraped together an additional 25 podium finishes, 20 in the cross and in the 5 & rsquo; halfpipe. Won the & rsquo; last edition of the Crystal Ball absolute, assigned in 2010, and two cups of snowboard cross in 2008 and 2010. He also won two gold medals (1999 and 2006) and two bronze (2007 and 2012) in the cross at the Winter X-Games. A CV that even Lindsey Jacobellis, the woman pi & ugrave; winning in the history of the & nbsp; snowboard cross, can & ograve; boast, given that the US is missing the & rsquo; Olympic gold, literally throwing away the penultimate jump that same end of 2006 that saw Ma & euml; lle finish & Outdoors; hospital.
