Great Britain’s Charlotte Bankes consolidated her position at the top of the snowboard cross World Cup standings with her fifth win of the season.
Bankes won the second race of a double-header in Gudauri, Georgia after she came from the back of the field in the final to beat French duo Julia Pereira de Sousa and Lea Casta
The 29-year-old’s victory came after the disappointment of a shock qualification-stage exit in the first event on Friday.
“It’s an amazing win”, Bankes said.
“Friday was tough but my coach Jerome]Choupin] found the words to refocus me for today and we put a massive team effort out there to pull it off so I’m really happy”.
Bankes is 57 points above second-placed Casta in the standings with three World Cup races remaining.
