LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - American snowboarding phenomenon Julia Marino is not worried that her team mates will be among her most formidable rivals when she battles for gold in Pyeongchang this month as she also knows they will provide her with the most enthusiastic support.
The U.S. women's snowboarding team, which includes Sochi gold medallist Jamie Anderson and 17-year-old prodigy Hailey Langland, has a big opportunity to become the first female team to sweep a Winter Olympic podium and could even do it in two disciplines -- slopestyle and big air.
