Snowboarding: Zoe Gillings makes impressive start to World Cup season
Team GB Olympic SBX athlete Zoe Gillings finished in an impressive fifth place at the opening Snowboard X World Cup of the 2014 Olympic season in Montafon, Austria.
“Fifth was a solid start to this Olympic season, obviously I would have liked to have medalled but I am happy none the less,” she said afterwards.
“My team, John Noonan (S&C), Dr Graeme Close (nutritionist), Steve Humphries (physiotherapist) Dave Collins (sports psychologist) and Paddy Mortimer (performance director) have worked really hard over the summer with me and I’ve seen some huge gains in places I’ve traditionally always struggled in.
“I’m really looking forward to the next race in Lake Louise in two weeks time.”
Zoe now heads to Lake Louise, Canada, for the next World Cup of the season ahead of the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.
