2011 Matteo Baumgarten Prize to Jana Gantnerova
The winner of the 2011 Premio Internazionale Matteo Baumgarten Prize, Jana Gantnerova, was honored at a ceremony in Bormio (ITA) on 20th March. The 21-year-old native of Slovakia is a university student at the faculty of economics in Bratislava (SVK) who has excelled both in her academic and athletic careers. The young talent competed recently at the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (GER) and was also part of the 2010 and even 2006 Olympic roster of the Slovakian Alpine team.
The International Matteo Baumgarten Prize is awarded annually by the late ski racer's family to recognize young skiers who follow the path of excellence exemplified by Matteo. The prize is supported by FIS and the Italian Ski Association as well as the Sondrio Lions Club, Commune of Alta Valtelina and Pro Valtellina Foundation. Jana Gantnerova joins other award winners including Tanja Poutiainen (FIN) and Tina Maze (SLO).
