PARK CITY, Utah (Aug. 31) – Olympic halfpipe gold medalist Hannah Teter (Belmont, VT) has been nominated by the Women’s Sports Foundation as a finalist for the Sportswoman of the Year award, honoring extraordinary performances in women's athletics.
Voting closes tonight, August 31 at midnight ET, to cast your vote for Stephens, log on to: www.sportswomanvote.com.

In February Teter became the second American to win Olympic halfpipe gold, besting silver medalist Gretchen Bleiler (Aspen, CO) and 2002 Olympic gold medalist Kelly Clark (Mount Snow, VT) in the process. The victory propelled her to win the ESPY Award for Best Female Action Sports Athlete following her third consecutive year as a nominee in the category.
The Olympic success then compelled the 19-year-old Vermont native and former X Games champion to launch a line of Grade A, Vermont Maple Syrup called "Hannah's Gold", with all profits donated to poverty stricken children in Africa through a partnership with World Vision. Athletically, she also won the only two World Cup competitions she entered with back-to-back victories to open the season in Valle Nevado, Chile. To qualify for the Olympic Team, Teter hit the podium in three of five Grand Prix events, including a victory at the opening event in Breckenridge, Colorado.
The award winners will be announced on Monday, October 16, 2006, and honored at the Annual Salute to Women in Sports Awards Dinner at the Waldorf=Astoria in New York City
