In September, Karen Kobayashi won a bronze medal at the ANC Continental Cup in Cardrona, New Zealand. She competed against Olympians and World Cup riders in that snowboardcross race, the sport’s top event in the Southern Hemisphere. This earned her the No. 5 ranking for U.S. women in the sport — and a spot for the World Cup.
