Ashleigh McIvor

"I caught a really bad flu years ago just before the X Games and lost about 12lbs.  If I'd had COLD-FX back then I'm sure I could have performed a lot better in that event.  I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to catch something during the Olympics, after all the hard work I've put in.  I really feel like I don't need to worry about that now that COLD-FX has us covered.  The whole team swears by it."
- Ashleigh McIvor, Olympic Gold Medallist in Ski Cross

Sport: Ski Cross
Birth Date: September 15, 1983
Birth Place: Vancouver, BC
Residence: Pemberton, BC

McIvor entered ski-cross at a young age, being one of the youngest on the World Cup circuit, and finishing second in her first overall race, she entered the X-Games soon after. She was soon a featured athlete during the X-Games, and became the face of women's ski cross.

Once Ski Cross was added to the Olympic roster, Canada formed a national team and Ashleigh ended-up first on their list after three selection camps, fitness testing and six long months of working hard to prove herself. She had an amazingly successful season last year. She was in the finals in 5 of the last 6 races, and is now 2nd in the World ranking. Her strong results at both Cypress, on the Olympic track, and in Japan at the World Championships are demonstrative of her ability to perform well under pressure, when it really matters and when all the best in the World are out in full force. She aimed to keep that going right through the Olympics in February, and she has managed to do just that.

This season has been off the charts for Ashleigh. She finished ranked 2nd overall, and made it to the final in 8 of the 12 races, with a World Cup win under her belt, as well as a medal at the X Games. She recently realized a dream she’s been chasing her whole life when she became the first ever Olympic Champion in the sport of Skicross in Vancouver 2010.
