Namita Nayyar:
You made your World Cup debut at age 19 in January 2013 and gained your first podium in January 2017 in a super-G at Garmisch, Germany. Several weeks later at the World Championships, you won the silver medal in the downhill. How has the journey been in the world of ski racing?
Stephanie Venier:
I have always been very ski enthusiastic and I started skiing since I was 2 years old. I grew up next to a ski resort. After secondary school in 2012 I really wanted to go to the Skigymnasium stams, my parents made it possible for me and so I was able to combine school and sports. It was a dream to participate at my first World Cup Race in 2013. Shortly afterwards in February 2013, I became the Quebec Junior World Champion in SuperG. It was or is a long, stony way, but it’s absolutely worth it and that’s what I want to do and it’s just fun.
