American Elizabeth Swaini entered the history of freestyle skiing competitions, but she was remembered not for an outstanding result, but her "spectacular" performance. Before the start of the Olympics, a sportswoman in favor of Hungary was seriously tuned. Fans waited and waited for the spectacle, as in this sport a lot of tricks, but Elizabeth disappointed them. She walked slowly down the slope and did not show a single element. As a result, for her speech, the girl received 31 points from the judges, losing 14 points to the penultimate place, according to "Soviet Sport". It turned out that the American dreamed of getting into the Olympics and for this she used a loophole in the regulations. Freestylers for a trip to Pyeongchang need to get into the top thirty in the World Cup stages. Elizabeth came only to those competitions where the athletes were less than 30. Thus, she automatically selected for the competition. At the same time, Swainey began to engage in this sport in 25 years (now she is 33), and by her act she wanted to prove to the world that she can become a professional athlete at any age.
The Hungarian National Committee has already stated that it will review the selection criteria for the Games. Users on the Web called the athlete a great fraud and fraud in the world, but many believe that Elizabeth fully corresponds to the slogan: "the main thing is not victory, but participation". The girl surprises not only in sports. Behind her shoulders though also small, but serious political career. Swainey ran for governors of California when Arnold Schwarzenegger took part in the elections.
