Athlete Profile: S2E2 - Erika Lang, Trick Water Skier

On this episode we revisit an interview from January 2014 when Water Skier Erika Lang was just 18 years old and breaking records as the Women's World Champion Trick Water Skier at and had consistently topped the national rankings for the previous nine years.  Now age 24 Erika, who started water skiing at the age of 2, had a banner year in 2019. A few of the highlights have been making the podium in both Trick and Wake at the Moomba Masters, winning Tricks at the Masters as well as taking 3rd in the wakeboard division, placing 3rd at the WWA Wakeboard Worlds, and breaking the Women’s Trick World Record as well as being the first women over 11,000 points with a score of 11,260.  It was obvious when I spoke to Erika six years ago that she was only going to break more records so it’s worth listening back to this conversation to get a sense of her drive and ambition.
