Day 8 – Beijing 2022 Australian Preview

Not as many aussie athletes competing today but those who do will compete for medals in snowboard cross teams and skeleton.

Our snowboard cross team have two entries in today’s team event with Belle Brockhoff and Cam Bolton in team one, and Jindabyne pair Adam Lambert and Josie Baff in team 2.

Having watched the singles events we all know it is anyone’s event as it does not take much to sway the order, a slight mistake can see you go from first to fourth quickly. It will come down to the wire and the Australians are in with a huge chance.

In Bobsleigh Bree Walker continues her training in the Monobob and later tonight excitement as Jaclyn Narracott aims for a medal in Skeleton.

Narracott is currently the surprise halfway leader with two more heats to compete. Times are combining to determine the winner but is coming off a recent win the prestigious St Moritz skeleton event.
