Snowboarding: Japan's youngest medalist Murase eyes multiple gold in Italy

TOKYO - After becoming Japan's youngest Winter Olympics medalist at 17, snowboarder Kokomo Murase wants to add a new chapter to her career when she vies for the big air and slopestyle honors at the Milan Cortina Winter Games.

While her bronze medal in the big air four years ago in Beijing set a winter sports milestone for her country, the joy was short-lived for the youngster, who won the discipline at the Winter X Games at 13.
