Sports Hottie of the Week: Gretchen Bleiler

Published: 11:08AM Friday February 05, 2010 Source: ONE Sport

This week's hottie is an American beauty who certainly knows how to rock a snowboard.

Gretchen Bleiler is a professional halfpipe boarder who already has one Olympic medal to her name.

The 5'5" 29-year-old knockout is also something of an X-Games veteran with four gold medals and one silver in the women's Superpipe event.

Torino 2006 was where Bleiler romped her way to a Winter Olympic medal after coming second overall on the Halfpipe.

But don't assume this sexy shredder is all looks and no brains - in 2007 she began her own snowboarding clothing line.

Then in 2008 Bleiler helped organise an all-female invitational competition called the Snow Angels Invitational.

When not on the snow she loves surfing, mountain biking and fashion.
