Ellery H. Ellery Hollingsworth Info on Ellery What motivates me: New things inspire and motivate me every day. I would say my biggest motivations come from me wanting to accomplish my goals. In life, I look up to my family and what they represent. My goals and aspirations: I hope that I can inspire girls to become more active and get into sports, snowboarding preferably :) In snowboarding I hope to progress Women's snowboarding to new levels each season. People who support me: Mother-Linherr Hollingsworth; Father-Dana Hollingsworth; Brother-Jeb H; Brother-Kyle H; First and foremost I would have to say my whole family. My parents are very supportive and I wouldn't be where I am now without my mom. She would drive me to Vermont every single weekend. I would do my homework in the car and we would listen to Bob Marley the whole way up. My dad was supportive when he realized how passionate I was about snowboarding and he agreed to send me to Stratton Mountain School. Jeb and Kyle have always pushed me to be a competitor. Susan Izzo, has guided me through the snowboard world from the begining. Brian Spear was my first coach, and taught me that I needed to work hard if I wanted to achieve my goals. All of my friends influence me everyday as well. Ellery H.
“how I got started” I started snowboarding when I was six years old. My older brothers Jeb and Kyle were always leading the way, that’s what they were into, so I took it up also. I played hockey every year until I got a bad concussion when I was eleven, the Dr’s told me I had to stop playing hockey, so I switched over and started focusing on snowboarding. Hollingsworth Ellery

OLYMPIC FLAME The Olympic flame The tradition of lighting an Olympic Flame comes from the ancient Greeks. During the Ancient Olympic Games, a sacred flame was lit from the sun’s rays at Olympia, and stayed lit until the Games were completed. This flame represented the "endeavor for protection and struggle for victory." It was first introduced into our Modern Olympics at the 1928 Amsterdam Games. Since then, the flame has come to symbolize "the light of spirit, knowledge, and life." The Torch Relay also began in the Ancient Olympics and was revived at the 1936 Berlin Games. Originally, the torch was lit at Olympia in Greece and then carried by relay to the host-city of the games. The last runner carries the torch into the Olympic Stadium during the Opening Ceremony. The flame is then lit from the torch and will remain lit until it is extinguished during the Closing Ceremony. The Torch Relay symbolizes the passing of Olympic traditions from one generation to the next! The Olympic flame
