The 2018 Olympics are just around the corner, and one athlete might not have been a snowboarding sensation if it wasn’t for an accident on the mountain.
Snowboarders Red Gerard, Danny Davis and Julia Marino stopped by People Now to chat about the upcoming Games, and Marino talked about how she almost never took up the sport.

Viola Davis took home the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture category Sunday night at the 2017 Golden Globe Awards for her work in Denzel Washington’s “Fences.”
Though this is Davis’ first Golden Globe win, it isn’t the first time her performance in a screen adaptation of a classic play earned her Globes attention. Her knockout one-scene role in “Doubt” landed her on the nominations list back in 2009.
