“When I was three years old, I told everyone: ‘One day I’m going to be a professional ski racer’. Would I have said that if I had known it would take seven knee operations, five broken hands and four broken vertebrae? If I had known I would have to sit on a freezing cold ski lift for 168 hours every year; that I would have to commit to my goals 100% every day; that the journey to the Olympic medal, World Cup medal and Crystal Globe is not at all glamourous but a long and rocky path? I’m pretty sure I would have hesitated. But since my eyes have always shined brightly when thinking of skiing, I’m sure I would have said ‘Yes!’.”

I am a NORQAINER – my life, my way
