Incredible!! Our Blue Tomato team rider and freeski rookie Lisi Gram (15) got 1st in halfepipe at the first Winter Youth Olympic Games in Innsbruck!

Our rider and tyrolean native Elisabeth Gram has won Austria’s first Gold Medal of the Innsbruck 2012 Winter Youth Olympic Games in the Women’s Ski Halfpipe Final on Sunday.

After a suprising 1st place in the qualification where she has already dominated her competititors, she amassed 84.75 points to win the Gold in front of a delighted crowd.

All the time Lisi  looked natural and smooth on her way to the Gold as she linked a straight-edge safety with a 540, then finished with her signature hand-plant.

“It’s my special trick,” Lisi said of her hand-plant. “That’s my trick and if I do it everyone knows, ‘Yeah that’s Lizzy’.”

As she had hip pain beacause of a bail she had to pull herself together. ” I was a bit nervous, but relaxed, “she admitted at the finish and could not realize their succes after the run, “but it’s mega cool.”

Many fans from her homestown, including parents and friends, have seen Lisi in a unknown role, as she had to answer so many interview questions, “quite unusual,” admitted the winner.
After this, she celebrated her triumph in a small group. Besides, it was another premiere too: the first time freestyle skiing in the halfpipe as an Olympic sport!

Kurzer Video-Edit von Blue Tomato Team Rider Luca Tribondeau:

“Ich war diese Saison schon oft im Schnee! Unter anderem auch mit Jon Olsson und seinem Photographen Oskar Bakke, der auch schon viele gigantische Portrait Fotos von mir gemacht hat!

Hab auch schon wieder neue Tricks gelernt wie den Kangaroo Flip oder den Double Cork mit Double Grabs. Ich fühle mich eigentlich schon wieder richtig wohl im Schnee und meine Contest Planung ist auch schon fast fertig!”

LG

Zitat von Blue Tomato Team Riderin Lisi Gram:

Ich wollte nur mal ein kleines News Update bringen!

Bei dem EuroCup in Saas Fee bin ich ins Finale gekommen und schlussendlich bin ich 6. geworden. Ich bin ganz zufrieden, weil es mein 2. Tag in der Pipe war und auch mein erster
Internationaler Contest. Das Beste ist, dass ich jetzt die Fis-Punkte habe, welche ich für die Youth Olympics brauche.

Liebe Grüße

Lisi
