Brockhoff wins World Cup silver

Snowboarder Belle Brockhoff has continued her excellent form on the slopes with a silver medal at the Sunney Valley World Cup event in Russia.

Brockhoff, who recently finished fourth at the X-Games, was second fastest in qualifying before winning her quarter and semi-finals to make way into the final.

The 2014 Olympian then finished with silver to move from sixth to fourth in the world rankings.

Fellow NSWIS athlete Jarryd Hughes placed sixth in the men’s event, with Alex Pullin finishing seventh.
