Team GB’s Jenny Jones took silver in the slopestyle riding contest today at the Audi quattro Winter Games NZ staged in Cardrona.
Second placed Jenny Jones made a solid first run including a stall to fakie, switch back boardslide, 50-50 to indy out, backside 360 indy and frontside 700 indy to secure her silver.
US snowboarder, Jamie Anderson took gold and Cheryl Maas scooping bronze for the Netherlands.
Weather again disrupted the day’s schedule leading to a late afternoon finish for the women and the cancellation of the men’s competition.
However, the performance of all eight women in the final, which ended with daylight fading, was well worth the wait.
“Today has been just wonderful. I’m so thankful it worked out and that everyone was patient with the earth – it’s just a part of the journey. I just wanted to land a run and do well but I wasn’t totally obsessed with winning. All of us had to deal with the weather which was quite challenging but we all rode really well and I’m so proud of all the girls and I’m really happy with myself,” said Anderson.
