Mia Brookes wins slopestyle gold at X Games

Great Britain's Mia Brookes has won gold at the X Games in Aspen in the US state of Colorado.

The 19-year-old clinched victory in the women's snowboard slopestyle.

Brookes has one more event at the X Games to look forward to - the women's big air competition.

She will then head off to to her first Winter Olympics in Italy, which gets underway in less than two weeks' time.

Brookes secured victory in the women's snowboard slopestyle with a score of 96.33.

She beat New Zealand's Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, who took silver, and Kokomo Murase of Japan, who won bronze.

The result means that Brookes has now secured two big wins this season - after her victory at the Beijing Big Air World Cup in December.

Brookes said: "It feels pretty great to win. I'm super hyped - wasn't expecting it.

"I just came in wanting to have a good time and we got there in the end," she added.

Brookes has one more competition left at the X Games - the women's big air competition - before she heads off to Italy.

The snowboarder has been named in Team GB's squad for next month's Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, where she is set to compete in both the slopestyle and big air events.
