"I'm not a natural athlete, I'm just really stubborn"... Jenise Spiteri on how determination can take you to the Olympics

On this week's Empress Hour, we spoke to Jenise Spiteri, the first snowboarder to represent Malta at the 2022 Olympics. She began snowboarding at age 18 and battled incredible odds to qualify for the Games, such as living in her van (with no heating!), hiking over a mile daily up a mountain for weeks to train, and competing/training on a blown out knee for a whole season. Jenise won over our hearts in Beijing, embodying the Olympic dream and eating a red bean paste bun after one of her runs. Listening to her, it's hard not to be inspired by her determination - "I'm not a natural athlete, I'm just really stubborn".
