Britain strike gold in four-man bobsleigh in Germany

Mia Brookes produced an incredible display of big air snowboarding in Klagenfurt on Sunday to seal back-to-back World Cup victories. The 17-year-old Briton, sitting in third spot after her first jump, was able with her second and third runs to leap above Japan’s Mari Fukada into the gold medal position.

Brookes, who became the youngest ever snowboard world champion in slopestyle in 2023, clinched victory after claiming the best run score of the day with her final attempt (95.75), mirroring what happened in Beijing last month.
