On Oct. 2, PokerStars announced a sponsorship deal with Isle of Man Olympic Snowboard Cross champion Zoe Gillings-Brier.
Known to be Great Britain's most successful Snowboard Cross athlete ever, Gillings-Brier started surprising the world at the age of 15, when she finished sixth in the European Youth Olympics in Finland.
Since then, Gillings-Brier has managed to put together an impressive number of remarkable results that include seven World Cup podiums, three Winter Olympic Games, a first-place finish in the German National Championships in 2006, and the title of Athlete of the Year by the British Olympic Association for two consecutive years in 2007/2008 and 2008/2009.
