19 year old Tristan Weigelin loves Snowboard Cross racing and has been at it for 11 years. Doing the math, this means he started when he was 9 years old.
This fall Tristan has focused his training because he has his sights set on competing at the FISU Winter World University Games being held in Torino, Italy in January 2025.
At age 14 Tristan was selected to join the Nova Scotia Provincial Team
and endured an intensive training aimed at becoming a high-performance athlete.
Tristan has achieved many significant milestones, including winning over 40 medals and being the provincial series champion in 2018, 2019 and 2022.
However, the highlight of his career came when he was selected to represent Nova Scotia at the 2023 Canada Winter Games in Prince Edward Island.
Next stop with your help is Italy.
