INFAMOUS OLYMPIC MEDALLIST WANTS ANOTHER SHOT IN 2010

By Kevin Parnell

Second hand smoke brought BC snowboarder Ross Rebagliati to Kelowna this week.

Well, that and movie star Tom Green.

Rebagliati, now nearly 10 years removed from catapulting to stardom at the 1998 Nagano Olympics, where he won a gold medal, had it taken away after a positive drug test, and then won it back, was in Kelowna doing a round of interviews after filming a snowboard movie with Green.

The 35-year-old

I just got back from Big White where I was filming some scenes for Tom Green's new movie Shred I and Shred II. I have a few cameos playing myself. One of the guys from Jackass is also in the movie and had a couple scenes with me. I'll keep you posted as to when the movies are going to be released. I have to go back out there next week to finish shooting scenes.

I finished shooting two shows for HDTV yesterday here at Whistler Mountain.
