She's no stranger to the State Interschool Sports Championships. She has been training hard and it has paid off on the slopes.
She now progresses to the Australian International Sports Championships where she will be representing in alpine giant slalom. This involves skiing between sets of poles (gates) spaced at various intervals on a downhill slope. Athletes who compete in this event can reach speeds of up to 40kmh.
The championships will be held this weekend on 9 September at Mt Buller, Victoria.
Congratulations Catarina on your amazing efforts. We look forward to hearing about your event this weekend and wish you the best of luck.
