Swiss Ski Cross star Fanny Smith has been named the latest Right to Play Ambassador. Smith joins a line-up of more than 300 professional and Olympic athletes from 40 countries who aim to share the positive impact of sport and play with children around the globe. Smith joins many other FIS athletes who also serve as ambassadors, but she is the first Ski Cross athlete named to the role.

Smith said of her new role, “Playing is learning. It provides so many opportunities to learn while having fun. Playing has taught me common sense, languages, social skills and how to lose as well as how to win, among many other things. So let’s play together and learn and break down barriers.”
