Jenny Owens makes Olympic ski cross quarter finals

Monday, 1 March 2010

Jenny Owens and team mate, Katya Crema both put down some excellent runs in women's Olympic skier cross at Cypress Mountain making it through to the quarter-finals of the event.

In terrible conditions, with wet snow dumping down on the Snowboard and Ski Cross Stadium, Jenny and Katya both won through from their qualifying round and first head to head heat, before both crossing the line in third place during their respective quarter-finals.

Jenny went into the competition with a reoccurring  knee injury problem and it was only her sheer determination to do her best, that meant she was able to do as well as she did on the day. Great effort, Jenny.  A fine performance.
