Stephanie Jallen: Three things you did not know about me

Although she has not trained on the snow since last April due to a lingering ankle injury, USA’s two-time Sochi 2014 alpine skiing bronze medallist Stephanie Jallen is confident she will be able to take part in the Tarvisio 2017 World Para Alpine Skiing Championships, from 22-31 January.

Before next season gets underway, the 20-year-old unveils three things people do not know about her.

1. I have had a tarantula for five years and her name is Milly.

2. I love extreme things. I bungee jumped twice, skydived twice and even cliff jumped and surfed.

3. I am an adrenaline junkie.
