TEAM GrEEN<br />

oNE For ALL, ALL For <strong>ELAN</strong>. This varied bunch of<br />

people is the perfect example for the saying where the<br />

whole is greater than the sum of its parts. From alpine<br />

racers to base jump skiers, from freeskiers to downhill<br />

aficionados, every member of Team Green brings<br />

something different and unique to the table. Together, this<br />

team is absolutely inst<strong>ru</strong>mental in Elan's on-going R&D.<br />

1. CHrISTIAN MAYEr<br />

Even after a successful racing<br />

career in the World Cup, Christian<br />

still ikes to get his adrenaline<br />

pumping. So, whenever time<br />

permits, he sits in a rally racing car<br />

and tries to brake as late as<br />

possible before a bend. He says this<br />

is the same as in skiing - the later<br />

you brake, the faster you go! As a<br />

t<strong>ru</strong>e sportsman he likes other sports<br />

as well - football, hockey, tennis and<br />

especially golf.<br />

2. ANDrEJ ŠPorN<br />

Andrej’s first start on the FIS World<br />

Cup circuit was at the age of 20, but<br />

the interesting fact for a speed<br />

master is his first discipline was<br />

slalom. Even after a promising top<br />

10 finish, Andrej decided to focus<br />

on faster disciplines like super-G<br />

and downhill. An excellent decision,<br />

since just last year he finished<br />

second at the mighty Kitzbuhel<br />

downhill race and recorded top<br />

speed of the day!<br />

3. GLEN PLAKE<br />

Glen Plake is the “original” freeskier<br />

and a t<strong>ru</strong>e free spirit in every<br />

possible way. Born and raised in<br />

California, he started skiing after<br />

being inspired by his math (!)<br />

teacher, who showed the class an<br />

outtake from the 70's cult ski flick<br />

Outer limits. Appartently to<br />

demonstrate a math principle. Is<br />

that a cool teacher, or what?<br />

4. UrŠKA HroVAT<br />

As one of the most promising and<br />

talented skiers in her generation,<br />

Urška won several World Cup and<br />

World Championship medals.<br />

Always ambitious and resourceful,<br />

today Urška is a valuable asset for<br />

the Team, working towards the<br />

progression of women's skiing.<br />

5. ANA JELUŠIČ<br />

Ana received a warm welcome to<br />

the Team Green and we suspect her<br />

looks was not completely unrelated<br />

to it. Nevertheless this talented<br />

Croatian skier has a bright future<br />

ahead, confirming her right direction<br />

with a podium finish on her home<br />

race in Zagreb.<br />
