In the Vancouver Winter Olympics on 23 February 2010 she won the silver medal in the women's skicross competition.
Her first international sporting triumph was the gold medal in the classic telemark event at the 1997 World Championships.
[2] In alpine skiing she had made her international debut in December 1995, when competing in a FIS Race in Bjorli.
In December and January she finished among the top 10 in all her World Cup slalom races, the best result being a fifth place from Flachau.
However, this remained her season's best result as she did not finish half her races, and recorded only an 11th place in Åre in February.
Then, she achieved mediocre results at the 2003 World Championships staged in St. Moritz, an 18th place in combined being the best placement.
