Interesting Fact: In January 2012, Serwa got tied up with another skier’s pole and ruptured her ACL. She was determined to return from the serious injury and has successfully reached the podium on the world stage since.

Chances: Not a favourite by any means, but Serwa is a determined skier and should not be overlooked as a potential medal recipient.
