The GB snowboarder wins at the Beidahu Snowboard Cross World Cup.

Qualifying for Finals in first place, Bankes dominated throughout the competition.

She finished her Quarter and Semi Final races in first position, before executing a flawless Finals race to take her first World Cup podium of the season.

Up against Michela Moioli (ITA), Lea Casta (FRA), and Pia Zerkhold (AUT) in Finals, Bankes sat in third and fourth spot at each split in the Finals.

She came through in the final sector to take the 22nd World Cup victory of her career.

The result marks a second Chinese venue World Cup podium of the 29-year-old’s career, following a Silver medal winning performance at the 2021 Secret Garden World Cup.

Bankes will be back in action on Sunday in the second of the weekend’s Beidahu World Cup races.
