Despite already having two Olympic Halfpipe medals there’s been little hype around American Hannah Teter. Eight years ago she took gold in Turin but found herself struggling to qualify for Sochi after taking some time off between the two to focus on her charity projects. She nailed down her spot after crushing the competition at the final qualifying event.
After initially supporting a boycott of the 2014 Winter Olympics, Teter will take her place in the US team and will be looking to re-establish herself as one of Halfpipe’s biggest stars after her years away from the competitive circuit.
