It's been a successful Winter Olympics thus far for Team USA, with five gold medals and surely more on the way. Hannah Teter will seek to add to that list today, as she competes in the women's snowboard halfpipe. Hannah began snowboarding at age 8 and quickly became a star. At age 15, she was already the World Junior Halfpipe Champion and the wins just kept coming. Even participating in the Olympics is nothing new for Teter. She won the gold medal in the halfpipe at the 2006 Games in Torino. And now it's time for a repeat.
Off the slopes, Hannah recently appeared in Glamour magazine to chat about her fashionable side, and in the Sports Illustrated 2010 Swimsuit issue to show off her gorgeous figure. And in a nice combination of the two, Hannah even has her own line of underwear. But this is fashion for a cause. Her "Sweet Cheeks" line of panties are black and hot pink and read "Make Love Not War" on the backside. For each pair sold, $5 will be donated to Doctors Without Borders. And that's just one way that Hannah gives back. She also has her own charity called "Hannah's Gold," which donates money to help AIDS victims in Kenya. To further help the cause, she often donates her prize winnings as well.
And this Vermont native is so popular, that Ben & Jerry's ice cream created a new flavor in her honor in 2009. Called Hannah Teter's "Maple Blondie," the flavor features a blend of maple ice cream, blondie brownie pieces and caramel. But Hannah doesn't always give into temptation. She eats an organic, vegetarian diet which keeps her at the top of her game. Stay tuned to watch Hannah Teter's quest for gold during the Vancouver Olympics.
