💔 The snowboarding world is mourning the loss of Sophie Hediger, the 26-year-old Swiss Olympian who tragically lost her life in an avalanche at Arosa resort in Switzerland on Monday.
Sophie, a shining star in the snowboard cross scene, represented Switzerland at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, competing in both the women's individual and mixed team events. Her passion and skill on the slopes were truly inspiring! 🏂✨
Just this season, she climbed onto her first World Cup podiums, showing the world her incredible talent. Her second-place finish in St. Moritz this past January was a highlight that promised even more greatness to come. 🥈🌟
Swiss-Ski CEO Walter Reusser expressed the heartbreak felt by many: \"We are shocked and our thoughts are with Sophie's family, to whom we offer our deepest condolences. She lost her life tragically, brutally, and far too soon.\"
Sophie will be remembered not only for her amazing skills but also for the joy and determination she brought to the sport. Our hearts go out to her family, friends, and the entire snowboarding community. Fly high, Sophie. 🌬️❤️
