Ju Bray is inspired by New Zealand hero Sir Edmund Hillary and is heading for her second Olympic Games. She wore the silver fern at the Torino Winter Olympic Games in 2006. She finished a very strong 16th in the half pipe and 22nd in boarder cross. She has also won the Burton Half Pipe ( 2008) and came 5th in the World Cup half pipe in 2009. At 34 her depth of experience helps her perform in variable snow and weather conditions giving her a distinct advantage over other competitors. Ju rates her sport as "sensational and inventive" and is aiming for the half-pipe finals at Vancouver. Ju is the flag bearer for the opening ceremony of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
