298: Winter Olympics Special #5 | Mia Brookes goes for it & Snowboard Cross preview with Charlotte Bankes

We discuss Mia Brookes ballsy attempt at winning a medal in the Snowboard Big Air, whether Lindsey Vonn is in denial and look at Charlotte Bankes’ chances of winning a medal in the Snowboard Cross.

Host Iain Martin was joined by ex-Olympian and Team GB Skier X athlete Emily Sarsfield for our latest Winter Olympics Special Episode.

SHOW NOTES

Mia Brookes finished in 4th in the Snowboard Big Air, attempting a backside 1620 (2:15)
Listen to Iain’s interview with Ed Leigh in #296 to understand the language behind freestyle tricks (2:20)

Mia Brookes:

“It’s not like it’s a trick that I could do. I’ve only ever done it on the airbag and the last time I tried it was five months ago. So that was the first time I’ve ever tried it on snow. I think everyone will be just as stoked about me trying a 16 than me getting a medal.”
