Team GB snowboarder Mia Brookes steadied herself brilliantly after a shaky opener to book her place in the Winter Olympics Big Air final this evening, turning a nerve‑riddled start into a statement of intent.
The 19‑year‑old, crashed on her first jump and sat deep in the pack, but she rebuilt her campaign with impressive composure. Brookes delivered a superb second run in qualifications on Sunday evening, stomping a clean backside 1260 that rocketed her up the standings and restored her momentum. A solid third attempt took her up to third place inside the top 12 and qualification for the finals which began at 6.30pm UK time this evening.
