Bonnie St. John
No one embodies the idea of triumph over adversity better than
Bonnie St. John. After losing her leg at the age of five, she
pursued a passion for competitive skiing that took her all the
way to an Olympic silver medal.
Jonny Moseley
Jonny won the gold medal in the 1998 Winter Olympics in the
freestyle mogul event. He revolutionized skiing by bringing
a non-traditional, "extreme" style to the event and became world
famous for his "360 mute grab". He came home a national hero,
and has been competing in other events and enjoying his celebrity
status since then.
Vince Poscente
The key elements in corporate culture today require a balance
of mental toughness, a passion for excellence, and a dedication
to an enjoyable journey. An authority on speed and focus, Vince
Poscente knows the mind set needed to meet those demands.
Alberto Tomba
The only skier in the world (except maybe Picabo Street) to
achieve rock-star fame and adoration, Alberto Tomba is among
the biggest phenomenons to hit skiing in recent years. A common
joke is Tomba's lack of discipline in training — inability to
refuse his mother's pasta dinners and flirting with fans instead
of running practice gates — all laughing ceases when Tomba takes
flight on the course
Picabo Street
The name Picabo Street is synonymous with excellence in the
sport of downhill skiing. Leading up to and following her exceptional
gold medal performance at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano,
Picabo’s career on the mountain has no doubt been jagged and
covered with obstacles; however, her resilience and sheer determination
has earned her the title of one of today’s most talented female
athletes.
Tommy Moe
Not long after Tommy Moe became the second American man to win
an Olympic downhill 10 years later, his career was undone by
injuries. And like Johnson, who never fully recovered his glory,
Moe has yet to rediscover the form that carried him to the gold
and a silver in the Super G.
Chris Waddell
Ten Paralympic medals, including five golds. Nine World Championship
medals, three gold. World Cup overall champion in '99-'00. Four
medals at the 2000 World Disabled Championships (including one
gold).
