Katya Crema

There cannot be too many international athletes in any sport who are not highly motivated by the prospect of representing their country. Katya openly admits that marching in the opening ceremony at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games was, not surprisingly, the proudest moment of her life.
Even her many other high achievements, such as Dux of her school’s year 12, first year Dux in Architecture at the University of Melbourne and the winner of a High Performance Scholarship from the University do not come close to her Olympic dream.
