Britain’s Charlotte Bankes made it three wins from three races competing at the latest stage of Snowboardcross World Cup at Cortina d’Ampezzo in Italy.
Bankes found herself up against Manon Petit Lenoir (FRA) in all three of her races. The World Cup leader came through Pia Zerkhold (AUT) in the quarterfinal but could not catch Petit Lenoir. In the semifinal, Bankes did have the speed and skill she needed for the win.
In the final Casta, once again, led out the race, chased by her teammates. Bankes never let them get clear, although she was third to both timing marks. Her experience showed in the last section of the race, where she shot past Petit Lenoir and then Casta to cross the line in front once again.
