Aussies coming in hot for the Winter Games
It’s a month-and-a-half until the 2022 Winter Olympics get started in Beijing (sans our officials…), and some Aussie contenders are shining brightly in their lead up/qualifying events. Moguls maestro Jakara Anthony is now considered the one to beat at the Games after completing a “mind-blowing” World Cup performance in France on the weekend. It puts her at the top of the standings in all 3 moguls categories — singles, dual (where skiers go head-to-head) and overall. Not bad for a girl from Cairns… Meanwhile, Belle Brockhoff finished 3rd in her World Cup snowboard cross final in Italy. And last weekend, aerial skiers Danielle Scott and Laura Peel recorded a historic 1-2 in their World Cup event in Finland. And we’ve got a feeling we’re going to get right into the mysterious sport of curling after Dean Hewitt and Tahli Gill earned Australia’s first mixed doubles berth. Bring. It. On.
