Emma doesn’t even attend school yet, but she already has a gold medal for snowboarding. A small figure on a snowy hill appears like a toy, but it’s real, and it’s only five.

A little person on a big snowy hill appears lost precisely until it begins moving. Five-year-old Emma is like a snowboarder: sliding, turning, leaping—it’s like a snow ballet. The youngster doesn’t even attend school yet, yet she already bikes more confidently than many adults and has earned multiple awards for her efforts.

It’s hardly shocking if your father is a renowned snowboarder and a champion. Marco Grillo has participated in the World Championships four times and ascended the podium three times; he is a Big Air standout. This is the term for the feats that a snowboarder executes in a jump—true acrobatics at speed and in full uniform.

Marco teaches his daughter everything he knows himself. The child initially climbed on the board at the age of two, and since then she has not failed to astonish the coach and hundreds of thousands of admirers on Instagram. Emma, her elder brother, and her parents head out on the hill with the entire family. This is natural for Slovenia, where snowboarding and downhill skiing are almost national sports.

Look, it’s simply wonderful. Dizzying height and drop, yet the girl remains calmly on the board and even spins on it, as if it’s all a game. Emma feels quite secure even when grownups are lost or sluggish.

Here she leaps from a little springboard — albeit not for the first time. First, you need to assess how good it is as a roller coaster. Emma’s down the hill no worse than her elder brother Max, yet he’s two years ahead! Sometimes it may even appear that she feels more assured.

But the infant travels down the steep slope of the glacier—the ice tongue. She’s so calm. That he can even pause to smash his fists with dad or high-five mom, and does not forget to work on camera. Snow is her natural element!
