Brockhoff wins gold in Big White

Belle Brockhoff has capped off an amazing weekend winning gold in the second of back-to-back World Cup snowboard cross races in Big White, Canada.
 
The win makes it two medals in two days for the 27 year old from Melbourne, after finishing second in yesterday's competition.
 
In difficult weather conditions, Brockhoff claimed victory in a nail-biting finish, edging out Olympic champion Michela Moioli of Italy by .08 of a second. Rounding out the podium was American Faye Gulini in third.
 
“It is absolutely unreal! It’s more than just a win for me, I have come back from two ACL blowouts and this is just so huge! I am very happy,” a joyful Brockhoff said.
 
“The work I have put in over the last two years out of the sport has shown. It’s different for me too, my mind is looking at things differently and its super calm.”
 
“I had no nerves today. I was calm and patient.”
 
The podium result is the tenth medal of Brockhoff's World Cup career (4 gold, 4 silver, 2 bronze), and her first win since 2017.
 
With only two World Cup events remaining, Brockhoff sits in second place on the World Cup standings on 2900 points, 700 points behind leader Moioli.

Adam Dickson was the highest placed Australian in the men's event in 21st position, with Cam Bolton 25th and Jarryd Hughes in 27th.
 
The next stop of the World Cup tour will be in Sierra Nevada, Spain on March 06-07.

Brockhoff wins second World Cup medal of the season

Belle Brockhoff has continued her strong season winning silver at the FIS World Cup event in Big White, Canada, her second medal of the season.
 
Brockhoff, 27, from Melbourne overcame difficult weather conditions and equipment problems to reach her third straight big final this season, and took the silver medal in a photo finish just beating the third place finisher.
 
“I had a lot of equipment malfunction”, a relieved Brockhoff commented after the race.
 
“I had my boots break, parts on all three of my bindings break and my warmup gear broke. Had to duct tape it all up”
 
“I wasn’t feeling confident yesterday and had a bit of bone bruising in my knee. I just made the switch mentally before I went to sleep.”
 
“Six months ago, I didn’t have the confidence to ride in conditions with very poor visibility. “
 
“A lot of that confidence came back yesterday and today, which was more of an achievement than a silver medal for me.”
 
Taking the victory was Italian rider Michela Moioli with her teammate Raffaella Brutto in third.
 
The podium result is the ninth medal of Brockoff's World Cup career (3 gold, 4 silver, 2 bronze), and puts her in second place on the World Cup standings after three events this season.
 
In the men's event, 2018 Olympic Silver medalist Jarryd Hughes was the best placed Australian in 11th position, with Cameron Bolton 18th and Adam Dickson 40th.
