Her father Anton said on the eve of her race, “So here we are at Mont-Sainte-Anne on the morning of Zandri’s world champs race. Being here was made possible by each and every one of you who supported and contributed towards Zandri.

The plucky rider took on the steep inclines and sharp descents, finishing in a respectable 27th place out of 54 at the world championships.
