Teen kitefoiler Maeder ready to soar at Paris Games

Maeder is already a double world champion in the sport, which sees competitors streak across the ocean on boards pulled by giant kites that can reach speeds of up to 50 miles per hour (80 kilometres per hour). The son of a Swiss father and a Singaporean mother, Maeder has spent parts of his life in Switzerland, Indonesia, Croatia and Singapore, and speaks several languages. He is the world's top-ranked kitefoiler despite his tender years, and he is determined to win gold in his sport's Olympic debut.
