Snowboarders strike gold in Spain

NSWIS snowboarders Belle Brockhoff and Alex Pullin have both triumphed at the season ending World Cup event in Spain.

Brockhoff’s victory was her maiden title on the World Cup circuit as she continued the excellent form that has seen her win two silver medals this season.

The 2014 Olympian won both her quarter and semi finals before powering to victory in the final, taking line honours and finishing third overall in the world rankings.

"It was a very special and happy moment for me," Brockhoff said to the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia after winning.

"It was something I’ve been aiming for this year, and finally pulled it together at the very last race."

Fellow NSWIS athlete Pullin was also in strong form, dominating the final to pick up his first win of the season and finish fifth overall in the world rankings.
