Women Fitness President Ms. Namita Nayyar catches up with Torah Bright: Australian professional snowboarder, Olympic gold and silver medalist, who talks about her workout, diet, beauty secrets and success story.
Namita Nayyar:
You are Australia’s most successful Winter Olympian, former Olympic gold and silver medalist, two time X Games gold medalist, two times US Open winner, recipient of the Best Female Action Sports Athlete at the ESPY awards and much more. What attracted you towards snowboarding as a sport, if you were to sum up in a few words?
Torah Bright:
I grew up skiing. Skiing was all about racing and regimented training. When I was 11 I followed my older brother when he tried snowboarding for the first time.
Our minds were blown. We viewed the mountain differently; the creative outlet the snowboard under out feel gave us. All of a sudden we were seeing the same mountain as a playground. Snowboarding still is a creative outlet and a source of freedom and adventure for us.
