From the minute Anna landed that cab triple underflip in Stubai, (the one that sent the internet into overdrive), Anna Gasser has consistently raised the bar and has changed women’s snowboarding forever. Almost overnight, Anna became the one to beat and she has won countless medals, an Espy award, Austrian sportswoman of the year and Transworld Women’s “Rider of the Year“ & Women’s “Readers Choice“ Award too. The 2018 Winter Olympics turned her into a megastar in her Austrian homeland, as she stomped the cab double 10 on her last run to win the Big Air Olympic Gold Medal.  

Talking about the release, Anna had this to say“I am incredibly proud to be finally able to present the film. It's great to be able to show the sport, that has given me so much, from my perspective,"

We got to see “A Spark Within” at a screening on Friday in Innsbruck. The movie shows behind the scenes footage from Anna’s youth and fast forwards to the present day, with interviews from the people know her best. If you are a fan of Anna then it’s a good watch.

The Spark Within is Anna’s first full length documentary, that offers a behind the scenes look at Gasser’s rise from gymnast to one of the most progressive, competitive female snowboarders of our time. The Spark Within is available to view online now on Red Bull TV: www.redbull.com/annagasser.
