ValentineBԪַs Day is still a little way off, but there is no shortage of love for Olympian Andi Naude.
Introducing Andi Naude, Canada's 'other' women's moguls star ط️
BԪַ CBC Olympics (@CBCOlympics)
Naude, who hails from Penticton and grew up skiing on Apex Mountain, made to the super finals of the womenBԪַs moguls in the top spot, but the 22-year-oldBԪַs final run among the top six skiers saw her go off track around a gate, disqualifying her. Naude completed the run in style, doing a backflip on the next jump and skiing down to the finish line.
Disappointed, Naude still took the loss in stride, determined to be back.
BԪַItBԪַs not ideal, it wasnBԪַt a medal. But what can I do? I canBԪַt go back, I just have to keep my head up and look to the future,BԪַ she said.
