Summerhayes finishes 5th in the Ski Halfpipe Final at Youth Olympic Games
Team GB flagbearer Katie Summerhayes put in an impressive
performance in the Ski Halfpipe Final at Kuhtai to secure
5th place with a score of 55.00 in her first run and an
overall score of 63.00. Summerhayes will be looking to improve on
this result when she competes in the Slopestyle event later this
week where there are more medals up for grabs. The Slopestyle event
has already brought success for Katie where she achieved a podium
in Europa Cup earlier this season. In the men's ski halfpipe
competition Tyler Harding finished 10th.
In Alpine Skiing, Team GB members Paul Henderson and Rachelle
Rogers both did well on Day 1 in Super G with Paul coming
17th and Rachelle 24th. However they both
endured a difficult day in the Super Combined event, both failing
to finish. This has not knocked their confidence and both athletes
are excited to compete in the technical disciplines.
