It has an awfully nice ring to it – Christina Lustenberger – Canadian Junior Super-G Champion! Wearing bib 42, with 43 girls in the field, BC Ski Team veteran Christina Lustenberger came up big, really big, winning the women's super-G in Le Massif, QC Monday.
“I feel good,” said a surprised Lustenberger on the cell with head coach Nancy-Jo O'Neill. O'Neill and Lustenberger are both walking on air, “Christina has bone from Mt. Washington to Aspen to Massif and is running on pure adrenalin and determination. I am really, really, really proud of what she has accomplished. She's worked so hard for this and she deserves it.”
Tuesday's competition features a women's GS which Lustenberger is looking forward to. “I've been training speed for a while now,” said Lustenberger. “I'm looking forward to getting back on the short boards.”
Stay tuned!
