Manx snowboardcrosser Zoe Gillings has safely qualified for the World Cup second round races tomorrow (Thursday).

Competing at Veysonnaz in Switzerland, she set the seventh fastest time.

Her times for the two runs were very similar, with the second fractionally quicker at 1 minute, 3.31 seconds.

Zoe will be the number two seed in the fourth quarter-final tomorrow, with the top three in the six-woman race advancing further.

This round has been added to the schedule and replaces the races at Bad Gastein in Austria which were cancelled due to a lack of snow.
