Quiksilver Inc’s Winter Olympic Contenders 

 

 

 

Throughout the history of competitive sports, athletes have made great strides in the pursuit of excellence. This winter Quiksilver Inc.’s roster of world-class athletes will do just that.  In February, fourteen of our top snowboard competitors are slated to take center stage at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, as they quest for the ultimate accomplishment - Olympic gold.

 

Snowboarding has been an Olympic sport since its introduction to the games at the Nagano Winter Olympics in 1998.  Olympic snowboard events include the half pipe competition, the giant slalom and the snowboard cross. 

 

Olympic hopefuls under the Quiksilver umbrella include Lib Tech’s Danny Kass, who is back on the hunt for Olympic gold after winning silver medals for half pipe in the 2002 and 2006 Winter Games, as well as Roxy’s Torah Bright, who took 5th place in the 2006 Winter Games.

 

Qualifying competitions for the Olympics’ USA contenders are scheduled to take place at Mammoth Mountain, Copper Mountain and at Park City, with the final US Olympic team selections to be announced on January 24th.
