Torah Bright has a treble in mind for next year's Winter Games AUSTRALIA'S first Olympic snowboarding gold medallist, Torah Bright, will pursue her own triple crown at next year's Sochi Winter Games, attempting the historic feat of winning three different events at one Games. It is a challenge no one has attempted in snowboarding, but Bright's coach, her brother Ben, said yesterday she was committed to defending her halfpipe title, as well as competing in the new slopestyle event and snowboard cross. "It's just snowboarding - the plan is to be in medal contention in all three events," Ben declared as they prepared to try out the new Olympic halfpipe at Sochi in this week's World Cup competition. The attributes that have taken her to the top in halfpipe are the same as she will need in the other events. Ben said his sister was capable of being highly competitive in the three events after coming back this season from an extended break. "It can be done, it will be done - that's the mindset we're in," Ben said. It would be a feat that I don't think would ever be done again, but Torah has the all-around ability on a snowboard to do it. He said Torah, 26, was in need of a challenge after claiming the halfpipe gold medal four years ago. "We thought it would be a great way to rejuvenate her snowboarding and support the sport," he said. Torah has already qualified for next year's Olympic halfpipe event and went a long way towards earning selection in the slopestyle event when she won the bronze medal at last month's world championships. Ben said their focus this week was on the snowboard cross event. "We're just trying to get used to the boards and work out what works best for her," he said. Torah's first excursion into snowboard cross - at the World Cup event at Blue Mountain, Canada, last month - ended with her being eliminated in the qualification round (26th), but Ben said she had not had the right equipment to be competitive. They since have worked intensively with Torah's main sponsor Roxy to design a board that will give her more speed, and will be testing those on the Sochi course. They are also testing halfpipe boards this week, although Ben said if the quality of the pipe were affected by the unseasonably warm weather, Torah might withdraw to focus on snowboard cross. Torah returned to the top of the halfpipe podium with a World Cup victory at Copper Mountain in the US last month. Ben said her training form now was better than it had been before the last Games. "She's surpassed what she did in Vancouver; we're just not trying to win yet, we're trying to complete the goal of qualifying for all three events," he said, hinting that Torah had some new tricks up her sleeve for the Olympics. Watch the Olympic test event for halfpipe from 9pm tomorrow, and snowboard cross finals at 6.30pm on Sunday, on Eurosport, channel 511 on Foxtel.
