Kristina Valjas et sa partenaire Jamie Broder<\/a> sont pass\u00e9es \u00e0 l\u2019histoire en avril 2015 lorsqu\u2019elles sont devenues la premi\u00e8re \u00e9quipe f\u00e9minine canadienne \u00e0 remporter une m\u00e9daille du Circuit mondial de la FIVB en d\u00e9crochant l\u2019or au premier tournoi de la saison, l\u2019Open de Fuzhou, en Chine. Pour acc\u00e9der \u00e0 la finale, elles ont eu raison de la triple m\u00e9daill\u00e9e d\u2019or olympique am\u00e9ricaine Kerri Walsh et de sa co\u00e9quipi\u00e8re, la m\u00e9daill\u00e9e d\u2019argent olympique April Ross. Le duo canadien avait conclu sa saison 2014 en beaut\u00e9 avec son premier top 5 sur le Circuit mondial lors de l\u2019Open de Parana, en Argentine.<\/p>\n

Ensemble, elles ont \u00e9t\u00e9 sacr\u00e9es championnes continentales NORCECA en 2013 et 2015. Kristina a eu la chance d\u2019assister aux Jeux olympiques d\u2019hiver de 2014 \u00e0 Sotchi comme spectatrice pour encourager son fr\u00e8re cadet, Lenny, qui participait aux \u00e9preuves de ski de fond. C\u2019\u00e9tait sa premi\u00e8re exp\u00e9rience avec la comp\u00e9tition olympique, et elle en a profit\u00e9 pour voir comment les athl\u00e8tes g\u00e9raient la pression de la plus grosse sc\u00e8ne sportive au monde et conservaient leur concentration alors qu\u2019on exigeait de leur temps partout.<\/p>\n
