Australian snowboarding sensation Torah Bright comes from a winter sports family - her older brother (now her coach) was a pro snowboarder, and her sister was an Olympic alpine skier... Described as "one of the most photographed female snowboarders in the world," the photogenic Salt Lake City resident has her own signature clothing line and character in a video game.

As the pilot for the USA-1 bobsled, I broke a 62-year gold medal drought when my sled, the 'Night Train" won the Olympic title at the 2010 Vancouver Games. A degenerative eye condition nearly caused me to quit my sport in 2008, but corrective surgery restored my vision to 20-20.
