World Ski C'ships: Camille Rast Completes Rough Road To Win Slalom
The daughter of an off-road motorbike racer, Camille Rast knows what it takes to go over rough roads. The Swiss skier has had to navigate her way past several obstacles on her career path: Mononucleosis, a torn ACL and meniscus, self-doubt. Finally, her perseverance is paying off. The 25-year-old Rast crowned her breakout season on Saturday by beating teammate Wendy Holdener for a Swiss 1-2 in the women바카라™s slalom at the Alpine skiing world championships. Rast became the first Swiss winner of the slalom since the great Vreni Schneider in 1991 at the same Austrian resort.
