About 

At the age of 19, Hannah was a World Champion. At 21 she had already achieved dominance and had won almost every major title in her sport. She was the one to beat heading into the 2006 Olympics, but came up short. Injuries plagued her 2007 and 2008 seasons. She trained harder than ever before and came back to dominate in 2009. Winning the World Cup Overall Title confirms that she has added consistency to her bag of tricks. 
In 2010, Hannah will be looking to add an Olympic Gold to her resume.
