Maëlle Ricker, the Canadian Olympic Gold medalist in Snowboardcross, and 38 other Winter Olympians from around the world are featured in an online round up by Vanity Fair (www.vanityfair.com). The list includs freestyle skiier and Silver medalist from Canada Jennifer Heil, Australia's Halfpipe Gold medalist Torah Bright and plenty of non-medal competitors in both Halfpipe and Snowboardcross from as well.

Vanity Fair asked Ricker about her new-found fame in Canada, to which she said: “It’s been completely nuts, but positive nuts. Everybody’s been crazy supportive. I was so prepared for racing and race day, but then everything after—I’ve just been on cloud nine hovering around the city and meeting and greeting people. Everyone coming up to say congrats.”
