Katie Ormerod will have to push herself to her absolute limits to be in with a chance of Winter Olympic gold — but she has it in her to do just that.
That’s according to BBC presenter and snowboard expert Ed Leigh, who reckons New Zealand’s Zoi Sadowski-Synnott and American Jamie Anderson will be the pair to beat as they slide into action in the early hours of February 5 in the women’s snowboard Slopestyle qualifying runs.
Ormerod, from Brighouse in West Yorkshire, was forced out of the last Winter Olympics after suffering a career-threatening heel injury shortly before competing.
