World Cup podium for Zoe

by isleofman.com 24th March 2011

Manx snowboardcrosser Zoe Gillings has finished in third place at what should have been the final round of this season's World Cup.

She qualified in 17th position which normally would have been one place below the cut-off.

However, for the round at Arosa in Switzerland, there were six competitors in a race rather than the usual four.

There were crashes in all Zoe's races but she avoided them to make it through to the Big Final where she claimed third spot.

It was quite a turnaround after a crash in training last Friday ruled her out of the previous round in Italy (play audio file):

Zoe is back in action tomorrow (Friday) at the same venue in a round to replace the one cancelled in South Korea.
