Brookes bags Big Air World Cup bronze in Colorado

British teenager Mia Brookes landed a second Big Air World Cup podium finish inside a week by claiming a bronze medal in Copper Mountain, Colorado.

Brookes scored 155.75 over her three runs and came third behind Japanese pair Kokomo Murase and Mari Fukada.

The 16-year-old had registered her best World Cup finish in Edmonton, Canada last week, taking silver behind New Zealand's Zoi Sadowski-Synnott.

Brookes has finished in the top five in all four Big Air competitions in 2023.

Cheshire-born Brookes became the youngest world champion in snowboard history with slopestyle gold in February.

She now sits top of the overall FIS (International Ski and Snowboard Federation) Park & Pipe rankings after three podium finishes in five events.

In the men's event, the USA's Red Gerard, 2018 slopestyle Olympic champion, finished third behind Japanese winner Hiroaki Kunitake and 18-year-old Sam Vermaat of the Netherlands.
