2022 Winter Olympics: Asian Aussie Belle Brockhoff Places 4th In Snowboard Cross Women’s Finals

We stand corrected. After following the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics coverage on channel 7, we have learned that there is an athlete on the Aussie team who is Asian Australian – its 29 year old Belle Brockhoff who is competing in the snowboard cross competition.

So very close to a medal for Belle Brockhoff.

But what an effort to get all the way through to the final and finish fourth 👏#Beijing2022 | #7Olympics pic.twitter.com/rfagejULQR

Brockhoff performed well today in the quarter and semi finals with a few close shaves, and ended up being 1 of 4 who qualified for the finals, but it was America’s Lindsey Jacobellis who took the Gold. Brockhoff came out 4th, which is a very good rank, and she has the mixed team event coming up where Australia is world champions.

"I had a really bad training day yesterday … had a crash. I had a shit time trial, I was having a bit of a breakdown in front of my family…"

Up against it, @bellebrockhoff had an inspirational day against the odds 🙏#Beijing2022 | #7Olympics pic.twitter.com/KK8tRLwvXq
