The SRF presenter recently won the Swiss wakesurfing championship in the skim style category.

No reason for the Zurich native to rest on her laurels now. Viola Tami has other big plans for her sporting career.

Tami trains hard for this - several times a week at the Wakeboard Academy in Zurich.

One of her mentors is Academy boss and wakesurf pro Sascha Gattiker.

He says about Viola Tami's skills and smiles: "Viola often has very high expectations of herself. But let's be honest: what professional athlete doesn't?"
