heroes of snowboard--KARINE RUBY
The First Woman Snowboarding Champion
Karine RUBY
Born:
4 January 1978
Birthplace:
Bonneville (France)
Nationality:
France
Snowboarding was contested in the Olympics for the first time in 1998. The inaugural women's event, the giant slalom, was delayed one day because of a snowstorm. Twenty-year-old Karine Ruby of Chamonix, France, was the overwhelming favourite, having won seven of the eight pre-Olympic World Cup competitions. She had no trouble living up to expectations. Ruby's first run time of 1:09.33 led the field by an impressive 1.97 seconds. She protected her lead with a relatively careful second run and won by 1.83 seconds. She also participated in the Salt Lake City Games in 2002 and earned the silver medal in the giant slalom.
