Waddesdon snowboarder Becky Menday has been chosen to compete in the prestigious Burton European Open 2010 competition in Switzerland next month.
The 10 year old freestyler is one of only ten girls from across Europe chosen to attend the event, in which will take to a mountain course for the first time. She has only been snowboarding for three years but is already ranked 18th best female- across all age ranges- in the country and 124th in the world.

Snozone in Milton Keynes spotted Becky's potential and offered her sponsorship and enrolled her into their Snow Academy. Her ultimate goal is to represent Team GB in the 2014 Winter Olympics- when she would still be in her mid-teens.

In March the Waddesdon Primary School pupil will be competing in 'The Brits', a national competition held in Switzerland and she has already won several silver medals in the British Snow Tour series.

Her father, Jeff, said: "She is doing really well against much older girls than herself and there's a real buzz started up around her on the snowboarding scene."

Becky also fundraises for the charity, Snow-camp. She is sponsored by Snozone, Maverix, Boarders Boards, Coolriders and Plus Minus clothing, but she is currently looking for more support to help with the ever rising costs of competing.
