Show D-7 Wed/Thurs/Fri, February 21-23, 2018 Riverhorse Provisions 221 Main Street Park City, UT RiverhorseProvisions.com | 435-649-0799 PHOTO BY SARAH BRUNSON/U.S. SKI & SNOWBOARD Brita Sigourney skis during qualifiers at the 2017 Toyota U.S. Freeskiing Grand Prix at Copper Mountain, Colorado. She will return from the 2018 Olympics with a bronze medal. Continued from D-6 » “I just feel so proud and honored to be a part of this group of girls,” she said. “It was such an inspiring competition. They put down the greatest runs I’ve ever seen in a halfpipe.” And the feelings for her teammates were genuine. “We’ve been through a lot together - hard training days, good training days, good and bad competitions,” she reminisced. “I was there when Maddie (Bowman) won gold at the last Olympics and she was there for me today. She was so supportive. It’s just so touching and it makes you feel so much better when your teammates are there to back your success.” As one of the new pioneers of freeskiing, her mind constantly touches back on her idol, the late Sarah Burke. Sigourney broke through with silver in her first X Games. Gold went to Burke. “To grow up with her and make my breakthrough on the scene with Sarah set the bar high for me.” With a push from her poles, she dropped into the pipe one last time to a straight air mute grab to an Alley Oop Japan. Then it was a Left 900 Tail Grab to an Alley Oop 540 Safety, closing with a Left 540 Mute and a Right 720 Mute — arms stretched out to the sky. The judges agreed. That evening, as she was driven to yet one more television appearance on NBC, she had time to close her eyes with the Olympic medal in her hands. It was heavy with the weight of those years of dreaming and training. It had a special texture with nuances of design like the thousands of halfpipes she had ridden. Most of all, she realized that this was no longer a dream. This was reality, the culmination of years of perseverance. Brita Sigourney was an Olympic medalist. 2 for 1 MAIN COURSES From 3pm - Close Valid Through March 4th, 2018 PLEASE PRESENT THIS COUPON TO YOUR CASHIER AT THE TIME OF ORDERING AT RIVERHORSE PROVISIONS Limit TWO dining certificates per group | Not valid in conjunction with any other promotional offer | Food must be consumed on the premises | Not valid at Riverhorse on Main | Contracted parties not valid |
