Charlotte Bankes on the winner’s podium in Reiteralm
TeamGB Snowboarder Charlotte Bankes has lifted the Crystal Globe for being the overall winner for the season after winning her fourth Snowboard Cross World Cup competition of 21/22, at Reiteralm in Austria recently.
Team GB’s Charlotte Bankes and Olympic debutant Huw Nightingale managed sixth-place in the inaugural mixed team snowboard cross. Before the team event, Bankes finished ninth in the women’s individual snowboard cross on Wednesday, and Nightingale finished 30th in the men’s.
Charlotte Bankes, one of Team GB’s brightest hopes for an Olympic medal, was left disappointed when she was just beaten into third place on the line in the quarter-finals of the women’s Snowboard Cross when only the first two finishers go through.
