Jenny Jones claims Britain’s first ever snow medal

-

Veteran Jenny Jones made history on Sunday as she won Britain's first ever Winter Olympics medal on the snow.

Jones, 33, claimed bronze in the women's slopestyle snowboarding competition after a second run score of 87.25, behind Jaime Anderson (95.25) of the US in gold and Finland's Enni Rukajarvi (92.50).

The competitor from Bristol had made a name for herself earlier in the week by revealing she used to keep a teabag in her bra as a good luck charm.

Although that has long since been abandoned, her luck, seemingly, did not run out.
