    Didn’t Start in Finals – Vlog 6

    Release date: January 5, 2021

    In the end of November I had my first competition this season, it was a World Cup in Stubai, Austia. During that time Austria was in lockdown and it was uncertain whether the competition was being held or not. But luckly they managed to make it happen, still without the crowd and with strict rules. The ski resort was closed to public and they got the lifts running only for athlethes. Everything went pretty well in the beginning, I even managed to win the qualifications with 92.50 points. I was really happy about my result, but then it was the finals day and it didn’t go as planned anymore. The warm up before the finals ended with the decision not to start in the finals 🙁 I felt so bad at first, but then I tried to see it from a positive/different side. I was glad that nothing serious happened to me and very soon I’ll have new comp coming up.

    Christmas in Tallinn – Vlog 7

    Release date: January 12, 2021

    In this vlog I’m showing you my hometown Tallinn and the great things you can do in the Tallinn Old Town. The Old Town is really pretty and magical during all seasons, where you can go just for a walk or maybe grab some food. But during Christmas every street is so much more magical and you’ll get the Chrismtas feeling even then when we don’t have any snow. The Town Hall and the Tallinn Christmas Market are my favourite places to go to during holiday times. I go there at least once every year. So if you ever come to Tallinn during Christmas then you definitely have to go for tour in the oldtown and enjoy the Christmas mood.

    Husky’s First Snow – Vlog 8

    Release date: January 25, 2021

    This trip was super fun and I think this is one of my coolest vlogs so far. In December we went to Northern Finland to Ruka for some skiing. This trip was pretty special. First because we had some friends with us, but the best part is that we went to Ruka by car from Estonia so I brought my dog Kira with me for the first time. She had never seen snow in her life before, so it was very exciting. In the beginning I thought what if Kira doesn’t like snow but luckly we didn’t have that problem :)) she didn’t want to stay inside at all, just wanted to enjoy the snow outside instead.

    We Got Trapped in The Lighthouse – Vlog 11

    Release date: July 8, 2021

    I have lived my whole life in Tallinn but still there are places I’ve never been to or facts I don’t know about my hometown. Soo we were discovering Tallinn. On the first day we had a tour in Oldtown with a guide who told us more about Tallinn’s history and I learned so much from this. Also I have to say that our guide, Koit, was really cool and taked about the history in a really fun way. We finished our day with dinner in restaurant Lee.

    On the second day we were discovering an island really close to Tallinn, it’s called Naissaar (if translated to english, it’s Female island). On the island we were looking around with bikes, which was really fun and in the end the distance was around 14km. I would say that we had an active day outdoors. 🙂

    Qualified for Olympics – Vlog 16

    Release date: January 16, 2022

    I spent my first 3 weeks of December competing in The United States. The plan was to take part of 5 different comps but due to some difficulties I wasn’t able to start in Dew Tour’s slopestyle – it was miserable! However I still did the rest of the competitions and the schedule stayed pretty tight.

    My main goal in US was to qualify for the Olympics in Halfpipe. Prior to the event my Olympics spot was uncertain since I hadn´t earned any points yet. I knew that if I successfully landed my run It would probably be enough to earn my spot. And now I can proudly tell you all that I made it – so cool! Dew Tour took place on the last week where I did Halfpipe and also Streetstyle, which was a completely new experience to me. I´m really satisfied with this trip and my results!

    Most X Games Medals as a Teen in the History – Vlog 17

    Release date: January 26, 2022

    2022 started with a journey. We flew to US on the first days of January to compete there, but unfortunately our luggage was left behind in Europe. After few days nobody hadn’t delivered our bags and by that time I wasn’t sure if I can even compete because I didn’t have my clothes, my ski gear or my knee brace, which was the most important piece missing. But then Mike went on a 34h journey to get our bags to Mammoth that I could still compete, but this trip wasn’t too smooth either.

    In the end everything still turned out great and I was able to land my runs.

    After the World Cups in Mammoth we went to Los Angeles for a week (this vlog will be dropping some other time), just to relax before the XGames. And I’m happy to tell you that luckly we didn’t have any issues when travelling to XGames, everything went as planned, thank god! This year I decided to compete only in Slopestyle and Halfpipe. The past years it’s been super hard to do all three, it’s hard both menatlly and physically so I just wanted to focus more on Slope and Pipe. I feel it was a smart decision. First I had Halfpipe finals on Friday which went super well! I won my second Halfpipe gold at XGames and became the most XGames medals won teen in XGames history – wow! Sadly the next day didn’t go so well. I fell on my first run on the second rail and hit my head a little so I decided to pull out from the comp, which again was a smart move I think. It wasn’t anything serious and right now I’m back to full health so you don’t have to worry about me!

    My First Olympic Medal – Vlog 18

    Release date: April 10, 2022

    My first Olympics! The goal for this season was to stay in a good shape, stay healthy and avoid injuries, so I could go to my first Olympics. I found myself often thinking what if I get injured during the season and I won’t be able to go to China like it happened back in 2018 before Pyeongchang Olympic games. Looking back at my journey I can peacefully say that I made it there without any major setbacks.

    Not to mention it was still a rocky path, where I often found myself in stressful and nerve-racking situations. All in all everything came to a great end, I’m really proud of my bronze medal which I won in Slopestyle. But that’s not everything. I still had two World Cups to attend before finishing my competition season.

    I managed to win the last WC of the season in Silvaplana and got myself a trophy that I never had and which I can now proudly say I have in my collection! 🙂
