SADLER MAKES HIS MARK IN FRANCE
The full range of Australia’s Snowboard Cross pathway athletes were on display in France for the Europa Cup.
Josh Miller (OWIA), Angus Pennington (NSWIS), Emily Boyce (NSWIS), Finn Sadler (ETS) and Henry Baff (club athlete) competed on the world stage in Puy-Saint-Vincent looking to start 2019 on the right foot.
In a standout performance, Sadler claimed bronze in the first Europa Cup race as well as first place in the Junior event.
While looking to ride with speed and aggression in race two, multiple collisions for the Aussie riders saw Emily Boyce place the highest in the Aussie contingent with 8th position.
