Gold medal day

My sister Jennifer tipped me off to an event happening in Korea featuring Torino Olympic gold medalists Jennifer Heil and Canadian turned Australian Dale Begg-Smith. The event was a sanctioned F.S.I. World Cup freestlye moguls competition held at the Jisan Forest Resort, about an hour outside Seoul.

It was very exciting seeing these amazing athletes in action, and the low-key casualness of the event meant it was easy to mingle with the participants and meet them. I was lucky enough to get pictures with both Jennifer and Dale, both of whom easily won another gold medal for their growing collections at this event.
