Send us a textWhen April Lawyer opened Vanilla in Bend's Old Mill District back in 2005, she was still racing professionally as a downhill mountain biker. Today, as her boutique celebrates nearly 20 years in business, her remarkable journey from action sports athlete to successful entrepreneur reveals how our past experiences shape unexpected futures.Growing up in Big Bear Lake, California, April's early entrepreneurial spirit emerged through a childhood lemonade stand that evolved into selling treats from her bedroom window. Her introduction to snowboarding came through free ski days at the local mountain, sparking a passion that would lead to professional career. Meeting legendary snowboarder Janna Meyen became a pivotal moment, offering April both friendship and mentorship.The 1997 Winter X Games in her hometown of Big Bear was a defining moment for April, as she became the only female athlete to compete in both snowboarding and mountain biking. April's talent, work ethic and the media spotlight opened doors that took her across the globe, riding on both snow and dirt. However, a serious crash at the 1999 X Games in Crested Butte led to a head injury, gradually shifting her focus toward mountain biking.During her eleven years racing professionally, April developed valuable relationships with brands and gained experience in product development. After witnessing a friend's serious accident, she began contemplating her future beyond racing. Working at a friend's boutique had given her a taste of retail, and the seed of an idea began to form.With remarkable determination, April secured a space in Bend's Old Mill District before she even had a business name. Opening Vanilla while still racing professionally, she initially kept her athletic background separate, wanting the store to stand on its own merits. Today, the boutique has become a beloved Bend institution known for both its carefully curated merchandise and the genuine community April has fostered.Through April's story, we see how the skills developed in one arena—determination, authenticity, community-building, and resilience—can translate into success in entirely different ventures. Her journey reminds us that sometimes our most meaningful chapters come after following unexpected paths.The Circling Podcast is proud to be in partnership with Bend Magazine.

笔记：freestyle skier 自由式滑雪运动员finish with...titles...获得...冠军On her debut Winter X Games, she finished with the halfpipe and slopestyle titles as well as big air bronze.在她的首次冬季极限运动会上，她获得了U型池和坡面障碍技巧项目的冠军，并在空中大跳台项目获得了铜牌。As one of the most exciting freestyle skiers in the world, Gu Ailing established herself in just two years of international competition.作为世界上最让人激动人心的自由式滑雪运动员之一，谷爱凌在短短两年的国际比赛中就确立了自己的地位。What makes her remarkable isn't her athletic abilities nor her supermodel charm; it's the combination of them and her easygoing attitude about it all.让她与众不同的不单是她的运动能力，也不是她的超模魅力; 这是两者的结合，以及她对这一切的随和轻松的态度。获取节目完整音频、笔记和片尾的歌曲名，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“笔记”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！

A beautiful California day turned into a nightmare, as Will failed to save his friend's life while running one of the state's toughest rivers. This nightmare frightened him enough to quit kayaking, possibly forever. This is the reality of extreme sports. Often not even the greatest athletes can conquer these elements unscathed, but it's a risk they're willing to take. Will Gadd stands as a four-time Canadian National Sport-Climbing Champion, three-time Winter X Games gold winner, and the world's first person to scale up the frozen Niagara Falls. Whatever he can climb up, paddle through, or paraglide over, he can conquer; and it all started as a kid, exploring the mountains in his family's backyard.

No less an authority than Mark Lewisohn knows that the skiing scene in "Help!" was filmed in Stowe VT, during the 1997 Winter X-Games, exclusively on ESPN. But before (ahem, #apres) skiing was a very Beatles activity, Stowe was known as a small British boys school (Ringo! Ringo!), where the Beatles gave one of their longer and most interesting concerts whilst on the cusp of British fame. Recently, a tape surfaced of the mostly complete show, and like the Star Club release in 1970's, this one is truly a mammoth moment in Beatles history. Tony & T.J. gab fab on the concert, the set list, and the immense historical significance. And because they're morons, they also ponder:

Most people know Kaya as the dominant Winter X Games freestyle champion, with eight gold medals and a bronze to her name, as winning the world championships for freestyle skiing. Before all that, she just so happened to be one of the best female street skaters of all time. If you require evidence, check out her section in the D Structure team video What is... and her exceptional section in the iconic Brandon Negrete video Road To Nowhere. Both sections are still strong by today's standards and prove how much she was pushing the envelope for female rollerblading. Kaya has proven herself to be one of the very best on both skates and skis, and her career in freestyle only ended due to chronic headaches which made it pretty much impossible for her to continue training. She retired from professional skiing in 2017 and has recently started working as a TV correspondant for major ski events like Winter X Games. I caught up with her back home in Montreal to find out about her skating background, how she ended up in a Brandon Negrete video, some memorable moments from that era, including hanging out with and getting to know some of the most famous skaters of all time.

Jamie Anderson won the gold medal in the inaugural Women's Slopestyle Even at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia and repeated winning another gold medal in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, making her the first female snowboarder to win more than one Olympic gold medal. Including her performances at the Winter X Games Jamie has won 25 total medals: eighteen gold, five silver, and two bronze. All of these accolades make Jamie Anderson a force to be reckoned with in the world of snowboarding, however what caught my eye about her is her perspective around living life in harmony with one's Soul vs one's Ego. Jamie has been featured in a host of articles and print media around her blend of spirituality, yoga, meditation, breathwork and mindfulness and how these practices have not only influenced her athletic performance, but also her life in general. Jamie has a calm and compassionate demeanor. Her warmth and smile exude an invitation to ask questions and learn more. If you weren't a snowboarding aficionado, chances are you would connect with her because of her kindness and have no clue she has won 25 medals between the Olympics and Winter X Games. This is by far the most impressive stat in Jamie's accomplishments throughout her career, is the person she has built through the work she has done and the awareness she brings to the conversation outside of her dominance in the sport she competes in.It was a breath of fresh air to talk to such an accomplished athlete who is also an ambassador for sustainability, mindful living, and treating oneself and others kindly. To learn more about Jamie please head over to her website https://www.jamieandersonsnow.com/Also, to learn more about Jamie's foundation and to donate please go here https://www.jamieandersonsnow.com/the-causeArticles featuring Jamie that are applicable to our conversation:https://www.elitedaily.com/p/olympic-snowboarder-jamie-anderson-uses-meditation-crystals-to-slay-the-slopes-exclusive-8026700https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olympics/gold-medal-the-jamie-anderson-way-meditation-incense-and-candles/2014/02/09/50d9ee24-91b0-11e3-84e1-27626c5ef5fb_story.htmlhttps://www.yogajournal.com/practice/yoga-for-athletes/olympic-gold-medalist-snowboarder-jamie-anderson-yoga-trains-core-gives-ninja-like-edge/

Today we speak with former professional snowboarder, Megan Pischke.  In this episode, Megan talks about how her breast cancer battle has changed her perspective on life. She shares the tools that helped her through those years and what she does today to find gratitude in every moment.  Megan is one of the pioneers of female snowboarding. Megan competed in the Winter X-Games every year from 1997-2004.  For almost 25 years, Megan has dedicated herself to Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) She provides breast cancer survivors with scholarships to her women's wellness experiences rooted in snowboarding, surfing, and yoga with a focus on meditation, nutrition and other tools for prevention.  In 2012, Megan was diagnosed with breast cancer and describes this part of her journey as "a gift." Living life as grateful and appreciative as she always has is a big part of her healing.  Her story was chronicled in an award winning documentary film, Chasing Sunshine.  Megan's Links https://www.instagram.com/megsporcheron/?hl=en (Follow Megan on Instagram) Sean's Links https://www.seanconley.net/ (seanconley.net) https://www.instagram.com/seanconley2/?hl=en (Follow Sean on Instagram) https://www.amazon.com/Point-After-Resilient-Kicker-Learned/dp/1493042769 (Sean's Book - The Point After: How One Resilient Kicker Learned there was More to Life than the NFL)

凯莉持续创佳绩|Kelly Keeps Crushin' ItThe list of "firsts" Kelly Sildaru has next to her name continues to grow after she secured bronze on Tuesday at the Beijing Winter Games, becoming the first Estonian athlete to win an Olympic medal in freestyle skiing.本周二，凯丽·希尔达鲁获得了北京冬奥会自由式滑雪女子坡面障碍技巧比赛铜牌，成为首位在自由式滑雪项目上获得奥运奖牌的爱沙尼亚运动员，其“第一”的履历又添新笔。Born in 2002, she has also become the youngest Olympic medalist from Estonia in either the summer or winter edition of the Games.希尔达鲁生于2002年，她同时是爱沙尼亚冬奥会和夏奥会最年轻的奖牌获得者。 Wearing a black snow jacket and maroon pants, Sildaru stood out against the brilliant white course during Tuesday's final. With her signature long, blonde hair flowing out from her black helmet, the 19-year-old made one last check on her skis and poles before taking a deep breath and setting off on her run.在周二的决赛中，希尔达鲁身穿黑色雪地夹克和栗色长裤，在亮白的滑雪场上格外惹人注目。这位19岁女孩标志性的金色长发从她黑色的头盔下飘出。在完成对滑雪板和滑雪杆的最后一次检查后，希尔达鲁深吸一口气，开始投入比赛。The Estonian flagbearer was the last among all 12 athletes to set off in the final after she received the highest score (86.15) during qualification.这位爱沙尼亚选手在资格赛中获得最高分（86.15分）。决赛场上，希尔达鲁在12名运动员中最后出发。She finished her first run with a 900-degree rotation and a tailgrab (grabbing the back of the skis).她以900度旋转和后手抓板动作完成了第一跳。Her impressive moves and perfect landing gave her a score of 82.06, enabling her to nail a medal despite mistakes in the second run and a low-scoring third.希尔达鲁凭借令人印象深刻的动作和完美的落地拿下82.06分。尽管第二跳有失误，第三跳得分较低，希尔达鲁还是赢得了一枚奖牌。 Switzerland's Mathilde Gremaud won gold and China's Gu Ailing secured silver.瑞士选手玛蒂尔德·格雷莫德获得金牌，中国选手谷爱凌获得银牌。"My first run was pretty much like a safe run. That run brought me bronze. I mean I'm happy about it, but it would have been better when I could have put down a better run," she said post-race.赛后希尔达鲁说：“我的第一跳是用来保底的，那一跳让我能摘下铜牌。对此我很高兴，但如果我能发挥得更好的话就更棒了。”Although the failure in the second run blocked her path to the gold medal, Sildaru is still enjoying herself at her first Olympics.虽然第二跳的失败断送了她的夺金之路，但希尔达鲁仍然很享受她的冬奥首秀。"When I'm skiing, I'm just going to do my best. So I just need to enjoy myself and I'm not trying to focus too much on the medals or on the podium or stuff like that. It's more about my skiing."“当我滑雪的时候，我会尽我最大的努力，我只需要享受当下。我不想把太多精力放在奖牌啊、领奖台啊之类的事情上。我只把参加冬奥会当作是我去滑一场雪而已。”Her passion for skiing and hard work have earned Sildaru a series of titles at a young age.在很小的时候，凭借对滑雪的热爱和刻苦的训练，希尔达鲁就载誉满满。At age 13 in 2016, she became the youngest gold medalist to date at a Winter X Games event, and the first person to win a Winter X Games medal for Estonia. She is also the youngest to win two X Games gold medals.2016年，13岁的希尔达鲁就成为了迄今为止最年轻的世界极限运动会金牌得主，也是第一位赢得世界极限运动会奖牌的爱沙尼亚人。她同时还是最年轻的、赢得了两枚世界极限运动会金牌的运动员。During the Big Air competition of the 2017 Winter X Games Norway, Sildaru became the first woman to ever land a switch 1260-degree mute and a 1440 degree during a competition.在2017年挪威冬季极限运动会的大跳台比赛中，希尔达鲁成为有史以来第一位完成1260度和1440度动作的女运动员。Because of her young age, Sildaru was not allowed to participate in the World Cup until 2017 in New Zealand, where she won the slopestyle competition.由于年龄太小，希尔达鲁直到2017年才获准参加新西兰的世界杯，并获得坡面障碍技巧比赛的冠军。A knee injury denied her a chance to compete at the 2018 Winter Games, but she later recovered and won a gold medal in slopestyle at the 2020 Youth Olympic Games.膝盖受伤使希尔达鲁失去了参加2018年平昌冬奥会的机会，但康复之后，希尔达鲁又在2020年青年奥运会上拿下坡面障碍项目的金牌。"Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines," Sildaru once wrote in a caption to one of her photos on Instagram.希尔达鲁曾在Instagram上晒图并配文称“问题不是绊脚石，而是垫脚石。”What makes Sildaru's achievements even more striking is that she hails from a virtually mountainless nation with an average elevation of around 300 meters.让希尔达鲁的成就更加引人注目的是，她来自一个几乎没有高山、平均海拔约300米的国家。"I'm usually training where I have competitions," she said. "Like maybe just going there two weeks earlier for my training and competitions, or we just stay longer."她说：“我通常在有比赛的地方训练。比如，我可能会提前两周去某个地方参加训练和比赛，或者会在那里待得更久。”Spring in Finland, summer in France, and couple of months in New Zealand－Sildaru admitted she used to struggle between school and skiing: "It was a little hard at first.在芬兰度过春天，在法国度过夏天，再在新西兰待上几个月——希尔达鲁承认她曾在学校和滑雪之间挣扎,“一开始有点难”。"I graduated this spring, so it's been really nice to just focus on skiing," said Sildaru, who will turn 20 on Thursday.本周四是希尔达鲁20岁生日，她说：“今年春天我就毕业了。以后可以一门心思滑雪，真好。”Sildaru will compete in the halfpipe qualification on her birthday, with the aim to make the final which will be held on Friday.希尔达鲁在生日当天参加U型场地技巧资格赛，高分晋级周五即将举行的决赛。maroon英 [məˈruːn]；美[məˈruːn] adj. 紫褐色的；褐红色的n. 褐红色；紫褐色；（海上作为信号的）鞭炮vt. 困住；使无法逃脱podium英 [ˈpəʊdiəm]；美[ˈpoʊdiəm] n. 讲台；讲坛；（乐队的）指挥台；颁奖台hail英 [heɪl]；美[heɪl] n. 冰雹；一阵像冰雹般袭来的事物；雹子般的一阵v. 赞扬（或称颂）；招手（请出租车或公共汽车停下）；跟…打招呼；向…喊；下雹int. 万岁elevation英 [ˌelɪˈveɪʃn]；美[ˌelɪˈveɪʃn] n. 高程；提升；提拔；晋级；（某地方的）高度；（尤指）海拔；高处；（建筑物的）立面（图），立视图;（水平或数量）提高，升高，增加

Hello Interactors,The Olympics are in full swing. I admit I’m staying up later than I probably should be, but I’m a sucker for the Olympics. Yes it’s strange seeing a white strip of snow down a brown windy hill or watching big air competitions against a dystopian industrial waste site, but hey, that’s Beijing! But maybe I’m being too judgmental. Surely there’s more than meets the eye.As interactors, you’re special individuals self-selected to be a part of an evolutionary journey. You’re also members of an attentive community so I welcome your participation.Please leave your comments below or email me directly.Now let’s go…THE GU GLUEJubilant in her successful landing, the Chinese skier put on the brakes spraying snow over the blue padded barriers as the camera centered her in the frame. She had just landed her first jump in the Olympics’ big air competition. She pulled off her goggles and beamed a big, immaculate toothy smile into the camera. My first thought was, “This girl is not Chinese.” I had never heard of Eileen Gu, but that was about to change.She had just landed a right double 1440. That’s four full gravity defying rotations in the air after descending a hill 20 stories high and then launching off a curved ramp pointed to the sky. She was the first woman to land a similar double cork 1440 just two months prior. That prompted the French skier, Tess Ledeux, to counter in January by being the first woman to land a 1620 – four and a half rotations.Ledeux managed to land that same jump in her opening run at the Olympics in Beijing earlier this week and held the top spot until Gu’s third and final jump. While Gu was at the top waiting her turn, her mom called from the stands at the bottom of the hill. Yan Gu introduced Eileen to skiing in Lake Tahoe where she sometimes worked as a ski instructor. She told her daughter to play it safe and stick to the 1440. Eileen responded, “Mom, executive call here, vetoed. I am going to make the 16, and you are going to deal with it.”After visualizing the trick when her eyes closed, arms swaying, shoulders jerking, like a dog running in their sleep, she aimed her skis down the slope. High in the sky, confident in her 1620 launch, Gu grabbed the bottom of her ski – a safety grab – a trick she had never attempted before this run. She landed triumphantly and the judges launched her into first place. As she threw her fist in the air in celebration it was rewarded with a loud cheer from the Chinese fans sprinkled throughout the stadium. Her mom, of course, being one of them.Yan Gu was born in Shanghai and grew up in Beijing. The Olympics are in her home town. Her mom, Eileen’s grandmother, still lives there. When Yan was in her twenties, she did what many other Chinese students did, and continue to do. She sought an education in America. After receiving a degree in chemistry from Peking University in Beijing, she enrolled in a master’s program in biochemistry and molecular biology at Auburn University in the late 80s. She went on to be a research associate at Rockefeller University before going on to earn an MBA at Stanford in 1994. She now works at an investment firm in San Francisco where she specializes in Chinese investments.The director of an extreme outdoor sports high school in Mt. Hood Oregon, Mike Hanley, said “Yan is very pleasant but one of the most intense human beings I have ever met in my life. She smiles and tells you how great you are. But then you find out, after the fact, what the requests are. She loves her daughter and wants her daughter to get priority.”Getting priority attention from coaches and trainers in America means paying more money. Extorsion? Maybe. But money talks. Yan, a single parent, was willing to pay whatever it took to secure the right training to match her daughter’s ability and her own drive to insure her child’s success. Not many parents of talented kids can afford to do this without striking deals with big name extreme sports brands, like Red Bull or Burton, on behalf of their kids. Child labor? Maybe. But it pays the bills.But Yan has been off the hook for paying much at all since her daughter started striking her own lucrative modelling and endorsement contracts. She’s was a millionaire before hitting 18. She not only landed Red Bull, but Cadillac, Apple’s Beats by Dre headphones, Tiffany’s, Louis Vuitton and Victoria’s Secret. Those are some big names. But in China she’s also paid to represent the Bank of China, China Mobile, a milk company, and Starbucks of China. She is estimated to command $2.5 million per deal. With over 20 modelling, spokesperson, and endorsement deals she must be worth over $50 million dollars at age 18. And that was before she won the gold medal.In addition to being beautiful, talented, and rich, she is also smart. She scored 1580 on the SAT out of a perfect score of 1600, was the first to graduate early at her private high school in the Bay area, and will attend Stanford next fall. Oh, and did I mention she plays the piano and was one of the top distance runners in the state of California before turning her attention to the Olympics? She is what overly competitive parents the world over wish their kids to be. Sorry kids of demanding parents, Eileen has set the bar high. And for Eileen, good luck living through the onslaught of Western chauvinism, racism, and ethnocentrism. Not to mention a healthy dose of wealth, ability, and beauty resentment and jealousy.Gu decided, supposedly with her mother’s urging, to compete for China three years ago when she turned 15. She had grown up fluidly splitting her time between China and Chinese language and culture and the U.S. and American culture. As she said in a press conference this week, “in the US, I’m American, and when I’m in China, I’m Chinese”. But reporters, mostly male, weren’t satisfied with the answer. The English sports reporter, Oliver Brown, thought that line was “a cute line, but sadly impractical, for the simple reason that China does not recognise dual citizenship.” Gu refuses to indulge reporters on admitting whether or not she renounced her U.S. citizenship or whether the Chinese government made an exception for the girl the Chinese media call “Snow Princess”. Insistence by Western media, and many others, on making a bi-racial teenage woman pick one side or the other will likely not relent any time soon.REPRESENTATION ORIENTATIONI’m reflecting on my own initial reaction to learning Gu wasn’t representing America. My first thought, like many, is she’s a product of American culture, education, coaching, and lavish ski schools and resorts. Other athletes are saying the same thing. Jen Haduk, a Winter X Games gold medalist and a former member of the U.S.A Women’s team, told the New York Post that “[Eileen Gu] became the athlete she is because she grew up in the United States, where she had access to premier training grounds and coaching that, as a female, she might not have had in China…I think she would be a different skier if she grew up in China. This makes me sad.”Eileen Gu admits the access she had to snow, coaching, and opportunity allowed her to pursue her dreams and potential. In an interview on NBC, they show her giving a speech in middle school on the impact Title Nine had on women and sport. She also reveals in that interview that every trick she learned in America she took to China where throngs of young Chinese girls were eager to learn from her.A Chinese-American girl fluent in Mandarin teaching Chinese girls to do tricks on skis also helped her become the athlete she is. Eileen Gu would not have been the skier she is had she grown up in China, but Chinese girls will now grow up trying to become the skier she is. And you can bet the Chinese government will see to it they have what they need to succeed. In fact, some believe it was the money and support China offered Eileen Gu three years ago that may have contributed to her decision to represent that country. An offer the American team I’m sure could not match. Another Yan Gu deal made on behalf of her daughter? Perhaps. But you can bet other parents of bi-racial or dual citizenship kids would be tempted to do the same.Eileen Gu was born with rare athletic abilities. She was also born fearless. It was one of the reasons her mother made sure she had ski lessons. She could see as a young child that her daughter lacked the kind of fear most of us have skiing fast down a mountain of snow and ice. After suffering a concussion as a young teenager on a practice run, an injury that put her out of commission for a week, she couldn’t wait to get back to jumping. These natural abilities cannot be taught regardless of where you grow up.And we shouldn’t be so quick to diminish Eileen’s lived experience as a Chinese-American routinely visiting her family in China. While it has only accounted for five or six years of the 18 she’s been alive, it’s undeniably part of who she is, what she does, how she thinks, and what she believes. But I, like so many others, didn’t consider that in my initial reaction and judgement of Eileen Gu. I jumped to seeing her as representing a country and only after did I question my reaction and come to see her as a human being.As geographers Alan Latham and David Conradson wrote in 2003, even the field of human geography is “Dominated by an obsession with the politics of representation.” Little interest has historically been given to “considerations of the place, or the productiveness, of practice” by individual human beings.By seeing Eileen Gu as Chinese-American, bi-racial, or dual citizen can lead to objectification and categorization. There is a growing understanding and recognition in the social sciences that race categories often lead to either feelings of fear or desire. For example, unkept asylum seekers crossing the border from Latin America may elicit fear leading many to want to kick them out. Meanwhile, a super-model, Chinese-American, Olympic gold medal athlete elicits a desire to claim her as ‘theirs’.As we sit and watch Eileen Gu smile for the camera after performing death defying feats with sublime grace or see a magazine cover graced with her face, we are reduced to dwelling on her race. Those of us in the West have grown up being barraged with pictures, paintings, movies, comics, and text that portrays races different from our own in insufficient and often inaccurate ways. For China and the Chinese it’s a form of Orientalism. The word Orient is derived from a Latin word oriēns which can mean anything originating from the East, including the sky, sun, or lands and people East of Europe. Orient was thought of as the East and it’s antonym, Occident, was thought of as the West.This word and it’s denotations and connotations allowed Western scholars, writers, artists, and designers to divide the world between ‘us’, the West, and ‘them’ the East. The Orient was portrayed as a place far away with exotic customs, cultures, and people – ‘Other-than’ or ‘Other-worldly’; a place to be explored, conquered, and diminished. Consequently, its people were portrayed as ‘Others’ who were to be either ‘saved’, slaved, exploited, or killed.  It’s a portrayal that continues to this day.James Bond is the suave savior from the West who is shaken by exotic foreigners but stirred to action through acts of either violence or sex. And while we know it’s fiction, it’s filmed in a pseudo-authentic way that often includes a wink or a nod from Bond into the camera. Indiana Jones does the same thing. Steven Spielberg told it’s creator, George Lucas, it’s a “James Bond film without the hardware.”MIND AND BODY EQUALITYThe late Jamaican-British sociologist, Stuart Hall led efforts beginning in the 1960s to include race and gender in the scholarship of cultural studies. He observed in 1993 that social scientists, including post-colonial geographers, continue to downplay the role text, images, and symbols play in how we relate to the representation of cultures foreign to Western tradition. He believed representation should be considered within a wider cultural context. Hall believed the “processes of artistic production and ownership, use of media technologies, practices of distribution, government legislation and regulation, as well as different forms of audience consumption across the globe, influence how an image is ‘read’ and understood.”For highly produced imagery like Bond films or pictures of Eileen Gu in an advertisement, there is an intent by the producer of the image to encode a particular message to the viewer. But how viewers then decode and interpret that message is as variable and complex as humanity itself. The geographical context that informs an individual consumer’s identity influences the meaning of that message.The imagery in Bond Films or stylized photos of Gu also don’t provide a voice to the displaced or marginalized people that make up the bulk of these ‘foreign’ populations. The West can use the power of imagery to impose meaning which only perpetuates the idea that the West controls the rest. ‘We’ hold dominion over ‘them’. As geographer Anoop Nayak puts it, “The power of whiteness to continually narrate the existence of racialised Others is a violent reminder of the privilege that comes with being located as the architects and inheritors of modernity.”Eileen Gu just may be fashioning these Western media mechanisms into a weapon of her own. She has the potential to use her talent, intelligence, and good looks – and the dominant Western style media platforms – to give voice to those in China who do not. If we’re to believe Eileen Gu, she wants to inspire and empower young Chinese-born girls to use sport as a way to give them a voice. She knows they don’t have Title Nine to help them in China, so she’s using her Chinese language skills and her individual beauty, elegance, intelligence, and grace as a substitute. All under a Chinese flag. She is using the media tools of traditional Western domination not to hush or misconstrue but to crush what oppresses young girls so they can see what they can do.Eileen is outspoken and well spoken. She’s come out against increased Asian hate crime in America and supports the BLM movement. But she remains silent on human rights abuses in China. This really bothers people. Especially reporters. Meanwhile Tesla sells more cars in China than anywhere in the world. Where are the calls for Elon Musk to speak out? Microsoft was the first software company allowed to open an office in China around the same time Eileen’s mom was coming to America. It remains a highly productive, innovative, and influential subsidiary for Microsoft. I’ve witnessed myself. I don’t see reporters demanding Satya Nadella or Bill Gates to come out against China. Eileen, just like Elon, Satya, and Bill, know that to do so means disadvantaging their chances for influence from inside China.  Could it be that these Western, mostly male, reporters only see Gu as a two-dimensional, bi-racial American girl? Are they put off by how she expertly and effortlessly dodges their questions? Are they frustrated they can’t dominate this woman, this girl, this Asian-American who can look and sound Western one moment and Chinese the next? When the British reporter Oliver Brown writes how her well crafted and practiced line, “in the US, I’m American, and when I’m in China, I’m Chinese”, came across as ‘cute’ to him, is that not only condescending but patronizing, paternalistic, and misogynist? And did he not politicize, objectify, and perhaps ‘Orientalize’ her by insisting her words were “sadly impractical, for the simple reason that China does not recognise dual citizenship.”? There is nothing simple about any of this.And am I guilty of doing the same when my first reaction was to judge her on her appearance without knowing anything about her, her life, her family, her culture, or her intentions?Who knows what her real citizenship is. Maybe China turned a blind eye to their policy that refuses dual-citizenship. It’s a practical move on their part if it means they get a world renowned Snow Princess Chinese ambassador out of it. I wouldn’t put it passed Eileen and her mom to scheme and arrange such a deal. Her mom is a professional Chinese deal maker, after all. Just as Musk, Nadella, and Gates are. Who knows what arrangements these successful Western businessmen have with China, but you can bet they’re practical.When the ski coach from Oregon – who knows a thing or two about dealing with Eileen and her mom – was pressed on what he thought of Eileen choosing to ski for China he said, “It’s a decision that seems practical and pragmatic, just like every decision she makes.”In the 1880s and 1890s, a French aristocrat interested in the history and sociology of sport toured America and England learning about sports administration. His name was Pierre de Coubertin. He was particularly fascinated by rugby. He believed it best demonstrated how “organised sport can create moral and social strength” and how it could “help to set the mind and body in equilibrium”. As a former rugby player, I concur.He took his learnings back home and with the help of the French government organized the first Olympic committee in 1894. By 1896 the first modern Olympic games took place in Athens. It attracted the largest contingent of international athletes of the time.As I watch the remainder of the Olympics I’m trying to see through the media veils that distort and disorient portrayals of people. Instead of being just another American rooting for Americans, I’m marveling at the athletically gifted, courageous, and tenacious humans participating in ‘organized sports that have shaped their moral strength.’ Maybe if we all do that together we can also build social strength. Watching Eileen Gu twirl through the air while dodging the admonishing stare can be dizzying — and then some. But seeing her as a human first and an athlete second sets my mind and body in equilibrium.Thanks for reading Interplace! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

Canadian snowboarder Max Parrot took home the Olympic gold medal in men's slopestyle on Monday, just over three years after he was diagnosed with cancer.周一，加拿大选手马克斯·帕罗特夺得北京冬奥会单板滑雪男子坡面障碍技巧决赛冠军。三年前，他被确诊罹患癌症。The Canadian, who said chemotherapy left him "at zero percent" when he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2018, beat 17-year-old Chinese home favorite Su Yiming to win gold with a score of 90.96.帕罗特在第二轮比赛中以90.96分击败17岁中国小将苏翊鸣，夺得奥运金牌。这位加拿大选手表示，在2018年被诊断患上霍奇金淋巴瘤后，化疗让他的整个人生几乎被“清零”。"Exactly three years ago, I was lying in a hospital, and I had no energy, no muscles, no cardio," said the 27-year-old, the silver medalist at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games.27岁的帕罗特说：“就在三年前，我还躺在病床上，没有气力，肌肉萎缩，也没法进行有氧运动。”帕罗特是2018年平昌冬奥会坡面障碍滑雪项目的银牌得主。"It was the hardest moment in my life, and to be standing here three years later at the Olympics again, doing my passion, laying down the best run I've ever done and winning gold－it's insane."“化疗阶段是我人生中最艰难的时刻。三年后重返奥运赛场，尽我所能取得我有史以来最好的成绩，最后赢得金牌——这一切都太疯狂了。” Su earned the silver. Canada's Mark McMorris produced a strong final run to bump himself up to his third straight bronze, knocking defending champion Red Gerard of the United States off the podium.中国小将苏翊鸣斩获银牌。加拿大选手马克·麦克莫里斯在最后一轮比赛中表现出色，击败卫冕冠军、美国选手雷德蒙·杰拉德，连续第三次在冬奥会上获得铜牌。It was a disappointing day for some of the US medal hopefuls. Gerard couldn't put the Americans in the win column just hours after the heavily favored Mikaela Shiffrin failed to finish in the giant slalom, her best ski racing event.对于一些有望获得奖牌的美国选手来说，2月7日是令人失望的一天。在杰拉德无缘领奖台数小时前，备受青睐的米凯拉·席弗琳在她最擅长的高山滑雪女子大回转项目中也未能完赛，爆冷出局。The 27-year-old Parrot was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma about 10 months after winning a silver medal at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games. He underwent 12 treatments of chemotherapy over six months－a process he described as the toughest months of his life.在2018年平昌冬奥会上斩获银牌约10个月后，27岁的帕罗特被诊断患上霍奇金淋巴瘤。他不得不在6个月内接受12次化疗。化疗的日子被帕罗特称为他人生中最艰难的几个月。He steadily regained his strength and winning form as he earned Winter X Games gold medals in Big Air and slopestyle in 2019 and 2020.帕罗特稳步恢复自己的力量和冠军的状态——2019年和2020年世界极限运动会上大跳台和坡面障碍赛金牌得主正强势归来。"I was going through a true nightmare," Parrot said. "And just the thought of snowboarding was my dream at that point."帕罗特说：“我那时经历着一场真正的噩梦。当时我的梦想就是滑雪。”He was certainly at his best again on Monday, performing one triple cork after another along the Secret Garden course that's lined with a snow replica of the Great Wall.周一，帕罗特肯定又达到了他的最佳状态。他沿着云顶雪场以“雪长城”为主题景观的赛道一个接一个地表演三周空翻。Still, there were some anxious moments－like when his teammate crushed his final run. McMorris raised his right hand in the air after landing his last trick, thinking maybe he had won. But it wasn't good enough to move him past Parrot.尽管如此，还是有一些让人焦虑的时刻——比如他的队友麦克莫里斯在最后一轮冲刺中失利。在完成最后一个动作落地后，麦克莫里斯举起右手，以为他可能赢了，但他的表现还不足以超越帕罗特。McMorris tapped the snow with his board before heading over to hug his teammate. "Max beat cancer, and it's pretty sick to see him do well," said McMorris, who has won a lot of medals, but none of them Olympic gold.麦克莫里斯用滑板拍了拍雪，走过去拥抱他的队友。麦克莫里斯说：“马克斯战胜了自己身上的病魔，还表现出色，堪称传奇。”麦克莫里斯曾将多枚奖牌收入囊中，唯独缺少一枚奥运金牌。chemotherapy英 [ˌkiːməʊˈθerəpi]；美[ˌkiːmoʊˈθerəpi] n. 化疗；（尤指对癌的）化学治疗lymphoma英 [lɪmˈfəʊmə]；美[lɪmˈfoʊmə] n. 淋巴瘤podium英 [ˈpəʊdiəm]；美[ˈpoʊdiəm] n. 讲台；讲坛；（乐队的）指挥台slalom英 [ˈslɑːləm]；美[ˈslɑːləm] n. （滑雪）回转赛；（独木舟）障碍赛

冬奥会简史：迈向极限| A Brief History of the Winter Olympics： Pushing the ExtremeThe daredevil drivers throw all cautionoverboard, faster andfaster down the Hoevenbergrun.这位选手真的是胆大包天，全然不顾自己的安危，在范霍文伯格赛道上越开越快。Since their earliest days, the Winter Olympics have pushed the extreme. Butextreme, has taken on new meaning as X-Games-style events have taken prime time airways. So how did we get here?从最开始的时候，冬奥会就已经在挑战极限。但随着极限运动迎来黄金岁月，“极限”也被赋予了新的含义。那么，这一切的来龙去脉是怎样的呢？Let's start with thefirst Winter Olympics, held inChamonix, France in 1924. Billed asInternationalWinterSportsWeek,that had just 16 countries participating across 16 events. Taking a look at the line-up, skijumping was the only real extreme sport there.让我们从1924年在法国夏蒙尼举行的第一届冬季奥运会说起。当时它叫“国际冬季体育运动周”，只有16个国家参赛。16项赛事中，只有跳台滑雪可以称得上是真正的极限运动。Back then, the Winter Games were held in the same year as the Summer Games. A tradition that continued through 1992. In the years between, the number of events more than tripled, the number of countries participating quadrupled, and by the 1992 Games, the number of athletesvyingfor medals reached 1,800, a record at the time.当时，冬奥会与夏奥会在同一年举行。这一传统一直延续到1992年。在这期间，奥运会比赛项目数量增加至原来的三倍多，参赛国家数量增加至四倍。到1992年阿尔贝维尔冬奥会时，争夺奖牌的运动员多达1800人，创下了当时参赛人数纪录。Major geopolitical events also impacted the Olympics. World War II shut down the games for12years. When they returned to 1948, Germany, which had hosted the games before the war, and Japan, weren't invited to compete. Cold War tensions ran high during the 1960's games, with the US debating whether or not to allow athletes from communist countries to compete.重大地缘政治事件也对奥运会产生了影响。第二次世界大战使奥运会停办了整整12年。在二战结束后的1948年，战前主办过奥运会的德国和日本都没有被邀请参赛。20世纪60年代的奥运会期间，在冷战紧张局势加剧的情况下，美国讨论着是否允许共产主义国家的运动员参赛。Teams from 30 countries are here.Sothe game begin! 这里是来自30个国家的队伍。比赛开始了！And then again, the next time the US,hosted in 1980, leading to this memorable moment. 1980年，美国主办的普莱西德湖冬奥会成就了这个值得纪念的时刻。“Do you believe in miracles? Yes!”“你相信奇迹吗？相信！”（年轻的美国队在半决赛中爆冷击败当时坐拥霸主地位的前苏联队，这场胜利被称之为“冰上奇迹”）Meanwhile, Olympic events were getting riskier. Death-defying sports like luge and freestyle skiing found their way into the line up. Then in 1998, thegames took a turn.与此同时，冬奥会比赛项目的风险也越来越大。像雪橇和自由式滑雪这样危险的运动也登上了舞台。在1998年，冬奥会比赛项目转了个弯。Wait, that's not right. Thegames took a twist.等等，不对。是发生了转折。There it is! Snowboarding,and, yes, curling were officially added to the program in the Nagano Games, and the inclusion of the board sport served as a clue of what was to come.是的，你没有听错，单板滑雪和冰壶被正式纳入到长野冬奥会的项目中。单板滑雪的加入为接下来这些项目进入冬奥会释放了信号。There have been 16 events added to the line of over the last two Winter Olympic Games. Of those, ten fall into the category of action sports. These sports, of course, aren't new to viewers of the X Games, and that's just the point.在2010年温哥华冬奥会和2014年索契冬奥会上，共有16个新项目加入了冬奥会比赛的行列。其中有十项属于极限运动。当然，重要的是，这些项目对喜爱极限运动的观众们来说并不稀奇。The Winter X Games started in 1997, the year before snowboarding made its Olympic debut, and have served as a kind of unofficial testing ground for the Olympics. Half pipe events, ski and snowboard cross, and slope style, all appeared in the X games before they made the Olympic debut.世界极限运动会始于1997年，也就是单板滑雪首次亮相冬奥会的前一年。它是冬奥会的一个非正式试验场。U型场地、障碍追逐以及坡面障碍在冬奥会首次亮相之前，都出现在世界极限运动会上。“Ladiesandgentlemen, that is a stick of the landing if you will. ”“女士们先生们，这落地也太稳了吧！”And this year, we're getting big air snowboarding, an event that's exactly what it sounds like it is.2018年平昌冬奥会新增了单板滑雪大跳台，光是听名字就能想象出画面了。Big tricks have brought a bigger stage. Snowboarding now claims a primetime spot in NBC's Olympic coverage alongside figure skating, which to be fair, is also getting more extreme, with skaters executing quad jumps. So,if history continues, this could be the review of every Winter Olympics.这些极限技巧非常吸睛，目前单板滑雪与花样滑冰占据了NBC冬奥转播的黄金时段。说实在的，花样滑冰也变得越来越极限，就比如阿克塞尔四周跳。所以说，如果历史继续下去，“迈向极限”也许能够概括每一届冬奥会。“The 1948 Winter Olympics hit a new high in speed and excitement. ”“1948年的冬奥会在速度和激情上创下新高。”What he said.正如他所说的一样，冬奥会“迈向极限”的脚步不会停止。 daredevil英 [ˈdeədevl]；美 [ˈderdevl] n. 爱冒险的；冒失鬼；鲁莽大胆的人；蛮干的人adj. 鲁莽大胆的；胆大的prime time英 [ˈpraɪm taɪm]；美 [ˈpraɪm taɪm] n. （广播、电视的）黄金时间geopolitical英 [ˌdʒiːəʊpəˈlɪtɪkl]；美 [ˌdʒiːoʊpəˈlɪtɪkl] adj. 地缘政治学的memorable英 [ˈmemərəbl]；美 [ˈmemərəbl] adj. 值得纪念的；难忘的defy英 [dɪˈfaɪ]；美 [dɪˈfaɪ] vt. 藐视；违抗；无法（相信、解释、描绘等）；经受住；顶住

On the ESPN Roundtable, Colter Nuanez catches up with Missoula native and recent Winter X Games gold medal winner Quinn Wolferman to talk breaking though with his first gold, the advantages of growing up skiing at Snowbowl and what exactly the knuckle huck event is. Colter also interviews Montana sophomore forward Josh Bannan and finishes up his fiery take about Barry Bonds and the Baseball Hall of Fame from the first hour.

In this episode of Your Potential for Everything, host Alex brings on Steve Fisher, a former professional snowboarder, multiple Winter X Games Champion, and current realtor in Colorado. Steve talks with Alex about his life as a professional snowboarder, the Olympics, and the X Games. Steve qualified for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association nationals by age nine and at one point in his career he was ranked the #1 halfpipe rider in the United States. He won the Winter X Games in 2004 and 2007. The world of sport taught him a lot about resilience and adaptability and he carried that over into the business world. They talk about how his mindset helped him through tough challenges and how stepping away from the half pipe for awhile reignited his love for the sport and helped him stay mentally healthy.

Aujourd'hui, j'ai le plaisir de cuisiner Mathieu Crepel! ------- Snowboarder professionnel et plusieurs fois champion du monde dans les catégories half pipe et big air , il a participé aux plus grandes compétitions internationales de snow: Winter X Games, jeux olympiques, championnats du monde,  dont il est d'ailleurs ressorti avec deux médailles d'or. Retiré du circuit officiel depuis quelques années, Mathieu ne s'arrête pas pour autant, également surfer,  il ya trois ans il s'est fixé le défi de partir à à l'assaut de Jaws, un sport de surf mythique de l'archipel de Hawaï réputé pour ses vagues pouvant atteindre plus de 15 mètres de haut, et prisée par tous  les plus grands surfeurs de la planète.  -------- Citations: 31.04" La peur c'est clair que c'est une émotion qui revient souvent dans nos sports, la peur elle est nécessaire parce-que c'est ce qui nous permet d'être en éveil, d'avoir tous nos sens qui sont prêts, de savoir que la préparation physique a été faite. Et il en faut justement, il faut que cette peur soit bien dosée (...) Il faut juste qu'elle soit au bon degré d'intensité pour nous permettre d'être dans la zone où on va être en pleine conscience et en pleine possession de nos moyens." 35.49" Il n'y a pas de secret. Toutes ces croyances de voir les autres faire les choses bien et de croire qu'elles leur sont tombées dessus de façon naturelle, il y a eu des opportunités, des chances, des rencontres c'est sûr mais derrière il faut les alimenter pour en faire une réussite." 43.43 "À travers la chance que j'ai de pratiquer les sports outdoor, (... ) j'ai appris à avoir une harmonie avec mes terrains de jeux et avec la nature et donc je me sens en lien avec elle, et pas au dessus." -------- Ensemble, nous avons donc sans surprise parlé de snowboard, de surf, de la gestion du risque quand on fait des sports extrêmes, de sa connexion très particulière à la nature et de l'écoute indispensable qu'il a su développer avec elle à travers les des sports outdoor,, il nous explique aussi comment un voyage au Groenland à l'âge de dix ans pour Quicksilver  l'a décidé à faire du snowboard son métier, comment un “échec” aux jeux olympiques a été pour lui une source d'apprentissage pour de futures victoires, mais aussi bien évidemment, d'environnement et de son engagement tout particulier dans la préservation de l'eau, à travers son association la Water family. J'espère vraiment que cet épisode vous plaira autant qu'à moi. Bonne écoute Pour retrouver Mathieu Crepel

When you first hear a name that is unfamiliar in the industry, you don't think much of it and quickly forget about it.

Elena was born in Kauai but was raised in Lake Tahoe. She is one of the best female snowboarders in the world. At 13-years-old, Elena became the first female to land a 900 in competition. She went on to attend two Winter Olympics, and in 2013, became the first snowboarder, male or female, to land a double backside alley-oop rodeo at the Winter X Games. Recently Elena made the switch from competition into backcountry snowboarding, and recently released a documentary that documents the whole experience. Elena and I discussed: How she got into Snowboarding Why she made the switch to Backcountry Her new movie - Blank Canvas The importance of environmental activism Inclusion in outdoor sports Why outdoor sports are more fun than indoors Why the backcountry reignited her love of snowboarding And much more... Elena Hight My Take: Being at the top of a sport for a very long time is always difficult, sometimes you can lose your passion or fire. It's important to keep searching for that thing that makes you feel alive and to be sure you're not just doing what you're doing just because you've always done it.
