Reading

Gretchen Bleiler:
Snowboarding Queen
Every sport has its superstars, and Gretchen Bleiler is the queen of snowboarding. Gretchen was born in Toledo,
the U.S., in 1981 and spent her early years in Dayton, Ohio. Her life changed for the better when she was 10
years old and her family moved to Aspen, Colorado.

Gretchen loved the mountains in Aspen, and she started snowboarding at the age of 11. She knew as a child that
she wanted to compete in the Olympic Games, but snowboarding wasn’t an Olympic sport at that time. She also
wanted to compete in The X Games, one of the most important events in snowboarding.

Snowboarding is a fairly new sport. It’s unusual because it’s a combination of three sports in one: skateboarding,
skiing, and surfing! Gretchen learned fast, and soon started entering competitions. When snowboarding became
an Olympic sport, she was good enough to compete.

In her career, Gretchen has won many different awards, including an Olympic silver medal and four gold X Games
medals. In 2003, she was the U.S. snowboard Grand Prix champion, and in 2007, she designed her own line of
snowboarding clothes.

Gretchen has travelled around the world and go snowboarding in many different countries. While travelling,
Gretchen has seen the effects of climate change (changes in the Earth’s weather and temperature) in

different countries.

Today, she writes articles about climate change for magazines. She sometimes works with an environmental
organization called Protect Our Winters. She has appeared on TV talk shows, and she has spoken at different
events around the world. Gretchen says that snowboarding has given her everything, and now she wants to give
something back. She stopped snowboarding professionally in 2014, and no one can deny that she has enjoyed a
great career.
