BEIJING — B.C.’s Meryeta O’Dine has came away with a bronze medal following the Women’s Snowboard Cross event at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
In the opening heat, O’Dine held steady before breezing past the rest of her heat and finishing first.
In the quarterfinal, O’Dine sat behind the leaders until a crash following a jump caused some congestion on the track. But O’Dine maneuvered her way through the traffic and finished first again.
O’Dine continued to feed off the momentum she had gained over the course of the event, finishing atop the heat once again and earning a shot at a medal.
