Whistler, British Columbia has another Winter X Games gold, courtesy of Sarah Burke.

We really think that Sarah would have gotten used to winning the gold by now, having won it for four straight years at the Winter X Games freestyle skiing event.  But the ever humble Canadian has this to say:

Born in 1982, the 29 year old is known as one of the world's best skaters.  She started competing at 15, but has since won every major competition she's entered in both Slopestyle and Superpipe. 

In 2007, she became the first and only woman to complete a 1080-degree spin at the World Skiing Invitation.

She is also credited to have helped advance women's freestyle skiing.

Her Wikipedia entry notes that Sarah was voted number 91 on FHM's 100 Sexiest Women for 2006.  She is currently married to Rory Bushfield, another freeskier.

Sarah also has her own level in the video game, LittleBigPlanet.
