Zoe Gillings is one of Britain's best medal hopes for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

The snowboard-cross racer is ranked fifth in the world but loves to compete at the Brits - even after a brutal World Cup circuit in which she was still bearing scars.

She eased to victory in tough visibility in Laax to win the title for the third time.

The Isle of Man racer said: "I was one of the favourites to win so that added extra pressure.

"I feel really happy and relieved at the same time to have won."
