Stine Brun Kjeldaas (born April 23, 1975 in Kongsberg ) is a former Norwegian snowboarder .

Career

Kjeldaas, who started for Kongsberg IF , started her snowboard career on the halfpipe at an early age. At the Snowboard World Championship in Ischgl in 1993 , she won the bronze medal behind Martina Tschamer and Tricia Byrnes . Two years later she repeated this success at the Snowboard World Cup in 1995 in the Swiss Davos . At the Snowboard World Championship in San Candido in 1997 , she surprisingly came in only 13th and so fell short of expectations after 1993 and 1995.

On February 16, 1997, she started in the FIS Snowboard World Cup for the first time and was able to win her first World Cup in Kanbayashi , Japan . In the following World Cups she was always able to jump on the podium , with the exception of the competition in Hintertux , Austria , where she finished tenth.

At the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano , she was able to win the silver medal on the halfpipe behind the German Nicola Thost and ahead of the American Shannon Dunn-Downing .

At the 2001 World Snowboard Championships in Madonna di Campiglio , Kjeldaas won silver. At the 2002 Winter Olympics , she appeared again, but did not get beyond a 13th place.

In 2004 Kjeldaas ended her active career. She is married to the Dutch snowboarder Cheryl Maas . The couple has two children named Lara and Mila.
