Freestyle skier Grete Eliassen |
It was amazing to meet Grete Eliassen at the Red Bull North
American Headquarters in Santa Monica. Grete is an American-Norwegian freestyle
skier, who is a 6-time Winter X Games Freeskier medalist! She also set the
Guinness World record for Women’s Hip Jump. No wonder! She started skiing at
the age of two!
I was so impressed to hear how she pushed herself to the
limit during a two-week Red Bull High Performance project in Australia. Be sure
to stay tuned, when it’s a reality TV show. Can you imagine holding your breath
for four minutes? Hiking all day in 100+ degrees? Jumping out of a plane?
Fun facts: Grete’s favorite food is Mozzarella cheese, and
her favorite physical activity is skiing in fresh powder (might of guessed that
one.)
Way to go Grete!! It takes a lot of hard work and
determination to be a world champion.
