Courageous, broad-minded and open – that's the way that Anna Gasser describes herself. In November 2013 she proved all of these traits with a single trick – becoming the first woman to complete a Cab Double Cork 900. Overnight, she became the star of a new generation of female freestylers.
Always an active child, it was in gymnastics that Anna initially excelled. However, by the age of 15 she decided to step away from the sport. "It was way too time-consuming," she admits.
