## Resource

We discuss Mia Brookes ballsy attempt at winning a medal in the Snowboard Big Air, whether Lindsey Vonn is in denial and look at Charlotte Bankes’ chances of winning a medal in the Snowboard Cross. Host Iain Martin was joined by ex-Olympian and Team GB Skier X athlete Emily Sarsfield for our latest Winter Olympics Special Episode. SHOW NOTES Iain skied today in Isola 2000 (1:00) Mia Brookes finished in 4th in the Snowboard Big Air, attempting a backside 1620 (2:15) Listen to Iain’s interview with Ed Leigh in #296 to understand the language behind freestyle tricks (2:20) Mia Brookes: “It’s not like it’s a trick that I could do. I’ve only ever done it on the airbag and the last time I tried it was five months ago. So that was the first time I’ve ever tried it on snow. I think everyone will be just as stoked about me trying a 16 than me getting a medal.” Lindsey Vonn has a complex tibia fracture requiring multiple surgeries (4:00) “My ACL and past injuries had nothing to do with my crash whatsoever” (4:00) Makayla Guerke Schofield finished in 18th in the Women’s Moguls qualification (6:15) Watch the TNT documentary ‘She Who Dares’ (6:45) Charlotte Bankes competes in the Women’s Snowboard Cross on Friday (8:30) Interview with Charlotte Bankes (10:00) Feedback If you’ve enjoyed this episode – or even if you didn’t like it – I would love to know.
