Kelly Sildaru – The future star of freestyle skiing (video)

The 11-year-old Estonian, Kelly Sildaru, won’t be representing her country in the winter Olympics which started on 7 February in Sochi, Russia – simply because she is too young to participate. But an international sports press is predicting a great future for her.

Euronews recently called her “the future star of freestyle skiing” and said that “it’s only a matter of time before we see this child prodigy represent her country and maybe even celebrate gold at the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea”.
