WhereDaily News: Dale Begg-Smith Plans to Attend Sochi Olympics
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwired - Feb 13, 2014) - The Olympic Winter Games are getting more extreme and Freestyle Skiing is at the forefront of this development. This year at Sochi four new freestyle categories will be added, namely Ski Slopestyle and Ski Halfpipe for Men and Women, adding to the excitement of the events at Extreme Park in Rosa Khutor. The sport has a young Olympic history, it has only been an Olympic medal sport since the games in Albertville 1992. Moguls became a full medal sport in 1992, while Aerials had to wait until Lillehammer 1994 for that status. For this year's Winter Olympics Australia is sending a particularly strong team to the Olympics, amongst them one of the most famous winter athletes of all times, Dale Begg-Smith, who is making a comeback to the sport after a 3-year absence due to injury.
