    Snowboard Cross World Cup: Charlotte Bankes wins second gold in China

    Published on

    Great Britain’s Charlotte Bankes was in dominant form as she claimed her second snowboard cross World Cup gold in two days in Beidahu, China.

    Mia Brookes also claimed a World Cup medal, in snowboard slopestyle, on the X Games course at Aspen in Colorado.

    Following Bankes’ victory on Saturday, the 29-year-old went back-to-back with another superb display.

    Having won both her quarter-final and semi-final, Bankes led out of the gate in the final and never gave up her position as she secured a 23rd World Cup win.

    Australia’s Josie Baff finished second with Sina Siegenthaler of Switzerland in third.

    Bankes has now made the podium in eight of her past 10 World Cup races, winning six of those.

    Brookes meanwhile recorded her sixth World Cup podium of the season with a third place in Aspen, behind winner Zoi Sadowski-Synott and Kokomo Murase.

    It means the 18-year-old has 10 career World Cup podiums since taking her first in January 2023.

    She will return to action for the World Cup big air, with qualifiers scheduled for 5 February in Aspen.
