Bio: During her days as a highly regarded hockey player, Herman wasn't allowed to ski. She didn't even know what freeskiing was until she was 21, when she stumbled into the terrain park on an outing with friends. Herman is now one of the most stylish and seasoned practitioners of this new Olympic sport, with two X Games silver medals and the 2013 World Cup season title to her credit. She predicts an "amazing show" at the Olympics as skiers perform acrobatic jumps and glide down rails.
Event: Finished 10th in women's slopestyle.
