Cooper
named Snowsports Athlete of the Year
Australian athletes have just completed one of the most successful International seasons in our winter sport history.
Jacqui Cooper has been named the Snowsports Athlete of
the Year by Ski and Snowboard Australia, capping off a
superb year for the aerial skiing veteran.
Cooper edged out two other strong contenders - World Cup
mogul skiing titleholder Dale Begg-Smith and snowboard
halfpipe pro circuit champion Torah Bright - to collect
the third award of her career.
The 34-year-old Mt Buller skier won five events and an
additional bronze medal on the way to her fifth World
Cup aerial skiing title.
She ended the season with 24 World Cup victories, seven
ahead of the next most prolific winner in the history of
the sport.
No other aerial skier - man or woman - has won five
titles, and only one other freestyler, American moguls
champion Donna Weinbrecht, has achieved the
extraordinary feat.
Bright gained some compensation by winning the Snowboard
Athlete of the Year award, while Begg-Smith was the
recipient of the Outstanding Achievement award.
Begg-Smith won the World Cup mogul skiing title for the
third consecutive season, collecting three gold and two
silver medals along the way.
Bright also had a superb year on the Global Open pro
tour, winning the Nippon Open, the New Zealand Open and
the World Superpipe Championships on the way to her
second consecutive overall series title.
Begg-Smith's coach Steve Desovich was named the
Snowsports Coach of the Year.
The Junior Snowsport Athlete award went to rising
snowboard halfpipe rider Nate Johnstone.
