Just thought I'd send you a picture of Emma carrying the Swiss flag at the World Cup Women's Downhill. She carried it along with the rest of her teammates during the opening ceremonies and the singing of Oh Canada. It is actually a big honor to be chosen to do this. To add to the excitement, the kids were mentioned by one of the Canadian athletes in the National Post and the Calgary Herald. Canadian Kelly Vanderbeek, who placed third, told the media how she was standing at the start all focused and serious, when she heard about fifteen young ski racers (this was Emma and her team) nearby chanting, Go Kelly Go. She said she just couldn't help it, but to smile and look back at her support crew and say "That's awesome." She told the media that that's why she loves to race in Canada. Keep and eye on Emma, she's a competitor and may have just found her passion.
